2018 CUBCRAFTERS CARBON CUB EX-2
Description
Built for adventure and engineered for pure backcountry performance, this Carbon Cub EX2 is a standout example of one of aviation’s most capable experimental aircraft.

With its lightweight construction, impressive climb rates approaching 2,000+ fpm, and takeoff distances as short as 100 feet, the EX2 is equally at home on remote strips or weekend cross-country adventures.
