2018 Cubcrafters
Carbon Cub EX-2
N52WB
Nearly New, No Damage History
Ready for the Backcountry
Here's an opportunity to own one of the nicest Carbon Cub EX-2s around. It's nearly new, low time, loaded with tasteful upgrades, and includes a full Garmin suite of avionics and an autopilot. This mild-mannered bird is ready for serious backcountry flying with its Alaskan Bushwheel Airstreak 29" fat tires. She is clean and will not disappoint!
I can vouch for the performance and beauty of this EX-2, as I've had the privilege of flying alongside it on many exploration flights in the Arizona desert. This airplane consistently outperforms my PA-18 Super Cub in both its takeoff and landing performance, and also in cruise (the Seller always has to throttle back so that I can keep up with him).
The Avionics and Equipment list (below) is extensive. Please review it carefully so you'll see that the highly experienced builder configured N52WB very well. The current owner has maintained this Carbon Cub with no expenses spared. And, he's utilized Blackstone oil analysis, providing objective information on engine health.

* Note: Since the Garmin G3X tracks "total hours" whenever the avionics are turned on, and "engine hours" only when the engine is running, there is a difference between those numbers. This is similar to how a Hobbs meter may differ from tach time.

Exterior - 9/10 Always hangared during its short life, the paint is in very good condition. The paint quality and scheme are professional-level. There is one minor scratch on the cowling and on the right wing tip (see images below). The Plexiglas looks nearly new, as it should, and there is no evidence of oil leaks under the belly or inside the engine compartment. The exterior is gorgeous. This airplane commands ramp presence.
Interior - 9/10 The interior has that typical Cubcrafters quality that's second to none, and shows very little use. Upholstery and underlying support foam look and feel nearly new. Please review the images below, as they show every detail.
Overall - A nice EX-2 doesn't show up on the market often, and this is one of the best. Whether your flying is about exploring the countryside, or conquering the most challenging backcountry strips, this Carbon Cub is up to the task. Why wait 18+ months for the kit when this one is available now at nearly the same cost?
