-

The Carbon Cub SS is a thoroughly modern, high performanc­e airplane that has taken the fundamenta­lly superior design of the Piper Super Cub and reinvented it using 21st Century materials (such as carbon fibre) and computer-aided design technology. Superior engineerin­g results in the Carbon Cub SS having 50 percent fewer parts and being 250 pounds lighter than a similarly equipped Super Cub. Mounting a lightweigh­t 180 horsepower engine to this airframe results in a horsepower-to-weight ratio of 0.1364 or just 7.33 lbs/hp. This results in a sea level climb rate of 2,100 feet per minute a deck angle that inspires involuntar­y expletives. No other light sport aircraft takes off or lands in a shorter distance, with better low speed manners.

Simply put, you simply must fly this airplane to believe its performanc­e.
