This 2013 CubCrafters Carbon Cub EX presents as a well-equipped backcountry performer with 436 total hours on both airframe and engine. Powered by a 180-horsepower CC340 engine with a Catto propeller showing the same time since new, the aircraft offers a maximum gross weight of 1,865 lbs with an empty weight of 1,000 lbs, yielding 865 lbs of useful load. The panel features a Dynon D180 EFIS, Trutrak autopilot for enhanced cruise capability, Garmin SL40 comm radio, and GTX 335 ADS-B Out transponder for modern airspace compliance, complemented by a PM3000 intercom system.

The aircraft benefits from several performance-oriented upgrades including 29-inch bush wheels, Acme shocks with matching tailwheel, 3x3 titanium landing gear, and extended fuel capacity (40 gallons total). Additional features include LED landing lights and strobes, stainless steel brake lines, electric trim, extended baggage capacity, and rear push-to-talk functionality. Having had only two owners since new, the aircraft received its annual inspection in May 2025 and maintains its experimental/homebuilt certification. Based in Brenham, Texas, this Carbon Cub EX combines modern avionics with robust STOL capabilities for backcountry operations.
