BushCub SP and XP

BushCub SP's are offered in completely-built, ready to fly Certified Special Light Sport Aircraft, partially built Experimental LSA kits and Experimental kit form.

The fuselage is a little wider than the original Cub which allows an increase in the gross weights for the BushCub SP model to 1320 lbs., the Light Sport Aircraft/Sport Pilot maximum without floats.   All Chromemoly parts are powder coated for maximum protection from corrosion. Longerons are oiled and sealed to resist corrosion.  Extensive use of composites in some non-structural areas keeps weight down.

The BushCub SP is powered by the 100 h.p. Mattituk TMX-O200, a completely new engine built with all Teledyne Continental genuine parts.  Electric start, carburettor, light-weight alternator and Slick mags are standard.  A 12 volt sealed battery comes standard.  The BushCub XP can handle engines of 180 hp+ for increased performance.

The wings are all-aluminium structure with Superflite covering.  The NACA 23012 airfoil is the same that the venerable Taylorcraft uses, and allows for higher speeds and increased performance.  All control cable are routed inside the structure for a cleaner, neater installation.  Flaps and wing tanks can be added as options.

Tail feather are balanced PA-18 style for lighter control input forces.

Solo flight is accomplished from the front seat, where visibility is better.

Hydraulic brakes, front and rear seats, are standard. 

Covering is done in the Superflite process, applied per FAR specifications.  The aircraft is painted with the Superflite polyurethane system.
