This 2023 Carbon Cub FX-3 is an exceptionally well-equipped example of CubCrafters’ flagship backcountry aircraft. With just 220 hours total time and a fresh annual completed in March 2026, this aircraft is turnkey and ready for its next adventure.Finished in a striking custom paint scheme, this FX-3 features an extensive list of premium upgrades designed to enhance both performance and comfort. Powered by the fuel-injected CC363i engine paired with an 83” Hartzell constant-speed propeller, it delivers impressive takeoff performance, exceptional climb, and strong cruise capability.
Equipped with 35” Alaskan Bushwheel tundra tires, new TKI 8×2 landing gear, DBX-2 Pro Monster shocks, and an Acme Stinger tail suspension, it’s built to handle demanding backcountry terrain with confidence. Inside, the cockpit features custom deluxe leather seating, upgraded ventilation, a Rosen sun visor, and USB charging ports throughout the cabin and wings. With 44 gallons of fuel capacity, a carbon fiber belly pod, and a smoke system, this FX-3 is equally suited for serious backcountry exploration—or turning heads at fly-ins and airshows.
