One of our customers came to Junior with a problem. He didn’t want a Cub. He wanted the perfect Super Cub for his application. We set out to build a high horsepower beauty that ought to be able to come off the ground with little more than a parking spot to take off from!

Fuselage & Wings
Starting with a Javron fuselage and round tip wings, we made modifications to make it the perfect plane for our Alaskan application.
An avionics enthusiast's dream
We added PSTOL flaps to give an even greater margin on stall speed. PSTOL flaps allow you to reduce stall speeds by 4-5 MPH without increasing the angle of attack allowing you to land with a flatter deck giving you more visibility.
A full Garmin avionics array puts layers of information at the pilot’s fingertips - from real-time weather to engine monitoring. The full carbon fiber interior is completed with custom lightweight seats from Sport Aircraft Seats. The lightweight interior is a great tradeoff for the heavier avionics package.
