After a decade of building, repairing, and restoring Super Cubs and Cub derivatives the Patriot Aircraft team set out to engineer a Cub that was faithful to the original while still taking things to the next level.
The Super Patriot combines iconic design with superb craftsmanship and innovative additions furthering the versatility, capability, and overall ownership experience.
The iconic handling and stall performance of a Cub starts to erode as more weight is added to the wing shape most commonly found on today's Cubs. We chose a larger square tipped wing resulting in superior handling with today’s heavier and more powerful engines. This is especially true at slow speeds and in high and hot conditions. The 4 hinged ailerons and larger flaps also increase performance.
From the fighter inspired panel shape, to the easily visible fuel selector valve ergonomics and the flying experience were priorities when designing the cockpit . The 4 inch wider cabin might be most notable in the massive back seat, being adjustable and having under seat storage means passengers will never be at a loss for space.
The combination of a custom IO 320, Air Flow Performance fuel injection system, and E-Mags give the Super Patriot some truly modern muscle, delivering 176 horsepower without excess weight. 100 foot take offs and 2,500 fpm climb rates are easily achieved.

In our decade of repairing and restoring aircraft the places challenging to access were almost always neglected. Increased safety translated into unparalleled access to EVERYTHING!
