The CubCrafters CC18-180 Top Cub is an American light aircraft designed and produced by CubCrafters of Yakima, Washington, introduced in 2004. The aircraft is type certified and supplied complete and ready-to-fly.
The design is based on the 1949 vintage Piper PA-18 Super Cub.
The CC18-180 Top Cub was designed to comply with the FAR 23 certification rules. It features a strut-braced high-wing, an enclosed cockpit with two-seats-in-tandem accessed by doors, fixed conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.
The aircraft is made from welded 4130 steel tubing, with its flying surfaces covered in doped aircraft fabric. Its 35.4 ft (10.8 m) span wing has an area of 178 sq ft (16.5 m2) and mounts flaps. Standard engines available are the 180 hp (134 kW) Lycoming O-360-C4P or O-360-C1G and the 180 hp (134 kW) Superior O-360-A3A2 four-stroke powerplants.
The aircraft can be flown on wheels, tundra tires, skis or amphibious floats. Belly pods are available to increase cargo and fuel capacity.
The design was initially type certified by the US Federal Aviation Administration on 16 December 2004. The aircraft was certified by Transport Canada on 23 July 2008 and achieved Australian certification in August 2008.
