About the Cub
The Daytona Cub is an American homebuilt fixed-wing aircraft configured as a light utility monoplane. It suits amateur builders and recreational pilots seeking simple handling characteristics and reliable short-field performance. The aircraft utilizes a high-wing strut-braced layout with a welded steel-tubing fuselage covered in fabric, accommodating two occupants in a tandem seating arrangement and powered by a single air-cooled flat-four piston engine linked to a fixed-pitch propeller. Descended from legendary light aircraft lineage initially established in the early twentieth century, the design evolved through industrial transitions, factory relocations, and widespread adoption as a military liaison and training platform during wartime operations.
