A CubCrafters XCub flies about 695 nm, roughly 1,287 km, which is about 5 h 31 min in still air at typical cruise.
A CubCrafters XCub costs about EUR 1,644 a month to run, or about EUR 166 for every flight hour when it is flown 150 hours a year.
The CubCrafters XCub is a factory built, FAA certified light aircraft from CubCrafters of Yakima, Washington. The type was introduced in 2016 as a modern Part 23 tailwheel aircraft for personal flying, utility work and short field operations. It sits above CubCrafters experimental and light sport models, with higher gross weight, certified production and a more contemporary structure, systems package and interior. For buyers, the XCub matters because it combines classic tandem seating and low speed handling with certified aircraft documentation and support.
The XCub is powered by the Lycoming CC363i, a fuel injected four cylinder engine rated at 186 hp. Published figures vary with propeller, tire size and configuration, but typical cruise performance is about 120 to 130 knots. Range is commonly quoted at up to about 800 statute miles with standard fuel planning assumptions. Maximum takeoff weight is 2,300 lb, with useful load often around 1,000 lb depending on equipment. Service ceiling is published at 14,000 feet. The aircraft is valued for short takeoff and landing capability, but buyers should compare actual logbook weights and installed equipment rather than relying only on brochure figures.
The XCub has two seats in tandem, with the pilot normally in the front seat and a second occupant behind. The cabin is simple but more refined than a traditional Cub, with improved visibility, baggage space behind the rear seat and options for utility interiors. Most examples use Garmin based glass avionics rather than Garmin Perspective or G1000 systems. Typical equipment includes Garmin G3X Touch displays, digital engine monitoring, transponder, ADS-B equipment and optional autopilot or IFR capable navigation equipment, depending on the year and configuration.
Used XCub aircraft usually occupy the upper end of the two seat bush and recreational aircraft market, priced above many legacy Super Cub types and below larger certified utility aircraft. Important inspection points include total time, propeller and engine history, landing gear condition, fabric and finish condition, tire and brake setup, avionics status, damage history and any operation from rough strips or floats. Common value drivers include Garmin panel specification, autopilot, extended baggage, interior fit, paint condition, tundra tires, seaplane provisions and propeller choice. Buyers should distinguish the XCub from the NXCub, which uses a nosewheel layout, and from CubCrafters Carbon Cub models, which are separate product lines with different certification and operating profiles.
