About the PA-18 Top Cub
The Cub Crafters PA-18 Top Cub is an American single-engine, fixed-wing monoplane well-suited for backcountry bush flying, glider towing, and utility tasks. It utilizes a traditional fabric-over-steel-tubing structural layout and accommodates a pilot within its high-wing cabin configuration.
Tracing its lineage back through earlier classic designs from the mid-twentieth century, this aircraft family became renowned for exceptional short-field operational capabilities. Over the decades, thousands of examples were manufactured, spawning a dedicated following and an extensive market for aftermarket modifications ranging from upgraded powerplants and specialized landing gear to enhanced cargo arrangements.
