A New Standard, Certified

The Most Advanced and Fastest-Selling Backcountry Aircraft

The Carbon Cub, a modern redesign of the classic Super Cub in 2006, has been continuously improved to redefine expectations and push the envelope of backcountry aviation.

  • In 2009 the Carbon Cub was upgraded with a lightweight 180 HP engine.
  • In 2010, the Carbon Cub became available as a build-it-yourself aircraft kit, called the Carbon Cub EX.
  • In 2015, we introduced our 7-day factory Builder Assist program with the Carbon Cub FX.
  • In 2017, we introduced Carbon Cub FX-3 and EX-3 with more refinements for increased performance.
  • In 2022, we are introducing a new engine option for the Carbon Cub, the CC 363i F/P, that combines advanced fuel injection and electronic ignition.

Redefining Expectations

Our most recent breakthroughs can be found on our certified XCubs.

Self-funded and secretly developed over 6 years, the introduction of the XCub in 2016 established CubCrafters at the center of a backcountry aviation revival.

Now with international certifications, the most powerful engine in its class, seaplane certification, and nosewheel landing gear configuration, the NXCub can go where no other airplane dared to go.

image

A LIFETIME-OF-OWNERSHIP PHILOSOPHY

Much of our success has come from listening to pilots, building the aircraft they want to fly, and delivering an unmatched customer experience.

image

Our products and services are designed to meet customer needs throughout the life of the aircraft:

  • Pre-owned sales allow customers retiring from their flying career or upgrading their airplanes to sell on consignment.
  • Our aircraft retain tremendous value, often selling for more than their original price.
  • Our product line attracts customers across a wide range of interests including humanitarian and life-saving missions.

CubCrafters is an enduring symbol of the spirit of grassroots aviation. Our trailblazing innovations allow pilots to be their own trailblazers.

No money or other consideration is being solicited, and if sent in response, will not be accepted. No offer to buy the securities can be accepted and no part of the purchase price can be received until an offering statement filed by the company with the SEC has been qualified by the SEC. Any such offer may be withdrawn or revoked, without obligation or commitment of any kind, at any time before notice of acceptance given after the date of qualification. An indication of interest involves no obligation or commitment of any kind. The company is “testing the waters” under Regulation A under the securities act of 1933. This process allows companies to determine whether there may be interest in an eventual offering of its securities. The company is not under any obligation to make an offering under Regulation A. It may choose to make an offering to some, but not all, of the people who indicate an interest in investing, and that offering might not be made under Regulation A. If the company does go ahead with an offering, it will only be able to make sales after it has filed an offering statement with the securities and exchange commission (SEC) and the SEC has “qualified” the offering statement. The information in that offering statement will be more complete than the information the company is providing now, and could differ in important ways. You must read the documents filed with the SEC before investing. The offering materials may contain forward-looking statements and information relating to, among other things, the company, its business plan and strategy, and its industry. These forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of, assumptions made by, and information currently available to the company’s management. When used in the offering materials, the words “estimate,” “project,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, which constitute forward looking statements. These statements reflect management’s current views with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause the company’s actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made. The company does not undertake any obligation to revise or update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after such date or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

It's not clear from the offering how an investor would ever make any money. I don’t think CubCrafters is looking to be acquired or to do an IPO, which are the normal ways you would expect to make money on a pre-IPO investment. So how will we make money? Will the stock be transferrable?

Patrick Horgan on August 12
Steve, Thank you for taking an interest in CubCrafters and for the question posed. Our aspiration as a management team is to deliver value to all our stake holders and we continually assess the various opportunities to do just that. By filing our Reg A+ with the SEC, once the SEC Qualifies our filing, it becomes a public offering in the sense that the buyers of our stock will then be allowed by the SEC to sell their shares. It is our intention that after raising capital through the Reg A+, we will considering listing our stock on one of the exchanges available to us, which include Alternative Trading Systems (ATS), that provide liquidity with no shorting or naked shorting of stocks. Or, on exchanges such as OTCQB , the OTCQX, or the NASDAQ. Upon Qualification, and after raising sufficient capital from enough investors, Reg A+ can be used as the listing vehicle to the NASDAQ or the NYSE. Our management team will consider all the circumstances as we continue on our capital raising process and select the most prudent liquidity vehicle. Note that we cannot guarantee that the SEC will qualify our Reg A+ or that we will raise capital through the offering.

Steve on August 12
Thanks. I'm looking forward to "taking a ride" with CubCrafters!

Hello, What is the valuation of the company? In other words, if one purchases $100,000 of stock in this offering what percent of the company would they own (post offering). Thanks. Lindsay

Patrick Horgan on August 12

We will publish our Offering Circular when qualified by the SEC, which includes valuation details. We cannot guarantee the SEC approval, nor timing.
