The CubCrafters FX3 is a backcountry-oriented aircraft designed for short-field performance, powered by a fuel-injected CC363i engine. It features a robust, lightweight airframe with a 2,000-pound gross weight limit and can take off and land in approximately 200 feet, depending on conditions. Takeoff is quick and landing is short due to its STOL (Short Take-Off and Landing) capabilities and features like an 83-inch constant-speed propeller and powerful brakes.
Description
Design: A backcountry and off-airport specialist, built on the CubCrafters Carbon Cub airframe, which is lighter and has fewer parts than a traditional Piper Super Cub.
Engine: CubCrafters CC363i, a 186 HP fuel-injected Lycoming engine.
Propeller: Hartzell Trailblazer 83-inch composite constant-speed propeller.
Airframe: Sturdy, lightweight construction with increased structural elements and landing gear attachment points to support a 2,000-pound gross weight.
Avionics: Typically equipped with modern avionics, such as the Garmin G3X Touch panel and a GMC 305 autopilot.
Takeoff and landing specifications
Minimum takeoff roll: Approximately 200 feet under ideal conditions (e.g., with one pilot and full fuel). Other sources list the minimum takeoff roll as 90 feet, which likely represents ideal performance with specific configurations.
Minimum landing roll: Approximately 200 feet under ideal conditions. Other sources list the minimum landing roll as 155 feet, likely representing ideal performance with specific configurations.
Takeoff performance: Excellent short-field performance, with a high rate of climb (e.g., 2,400 fpm).
Landing performance: Short landing distance, even on rough terrain, with the help of operational flaps and a good braking system with ventilated disks.
