Flagship Cub
Everything that we advocate for at Alaska Cub has been tried and tested on our own aircraft. Whether it is trying different pitches on a Catto propeller or our recommended avionics, we try it before you buy it.
Stewart Systems fabric and paint is used on every plane that is built at Alaska Cub. It is just as durable as solvent based systems, and we know that because of our real-world testing.
Backcountry Application
Short take off and landing performance is nothing without durability when you’re flying the bush.
Overbuilt where needed, no frills where it’s not.
Extended baggage doors, double baggage doors, and a seamless baggage floor are standard for moving meat and gear.
4-Season Workhorse
Our Alaska Cub is at home on wheels, skis, or floats. The only configuration we’ve found that it doesn’t like is being on a tie down when the sky is blue!
Hunting season is when a Alaska Cub really shines. Flying in Alaska is a year-round affair.
