Cub Crafters, Inc. (often styled CubCrafters) is an aircraft manufacturer based in Yakima, Washington. Founded in 1980 to build parts and STC modifications for the Piper PA-18 Super Cub, their CC18-180 Top Cub was FAA-certified December 16, 2004 and is currently in production. The Top Cub is a new aircraft based on the shape and attributes of the Super Cub, but incorporating modern materials and technology.[2]
The CC18-180 Top Cub was awarded Type Certificates for Canada and Australia in July/August 2008.[citation needed]
CubCrafters, Inc also produces an ASTM certified Light Sport Aircraft, the CC11-100 Sport Cub, a light-sport aircraft based on the original Piper J-3 Cub’s appearance. The Carbon Cub replaces many aluminum parts with carbon fiber for additional useful load.[3] Both the Top Cub and Sport Cub can be ordered with glass cockpits.[citation needed]
CubCrafters, Inc also has a service and rebuild facility for PA-18 Super Cubs and other Cub designs.[2]
In 2012, CubCrafters bought from John Bryerton of GATS the Prototype and Type Certificate of the Gavilan 358.[4]
