I have always loved flying the Piper Cub but this aircraft takes Bush flying to another level. The XCub is a full redesign of one of Aviations most loved aircraft: The Piper Cub.

The XCub aircraft has an empty weight of 1,216 lb (552 kg) and a gross weight of 2,300 lb (1,000 kg), giving a useful load of 1,084 lb (492 kg).

The take-off and landing distance required at maximum gross weight has been demonstrated as 170 ft (52 m).

It all started at age 4 with model airplanes and hanging around aviation with my grandad.

After 6 South African Large Scale Aerobatic National Titles before finishing high-school, the only route was professional flying for a living.

Now at the age of 30 with 2000+ hours, 70+ aircraft types flown including Airplanes, Helicopters, Seaplanes, Gyrocopters, Crop-Spraying, Turbines, Multi-Engine, Airplane and Helicopter commercial licenses, Flight Instructor ratings for Airplane & Helicopter & a Diploma in Aviation;

It’s time to take on the ultimate challenge…
