The Ultra Cub is a single-engine, single-place, strut-braced high-wing monoplane with either tricycle or conventional landing gear. The fuselage is constructed of riveted aluminum tubing with Dacron fabric substrate and (optionally) Oracal (adhesive vinyl) colored covering. The wing spar is aluminum with birch wood ribs, although a carbon fiber spar option is available. The wings can be folded for ground transportation or storage. The landing gear is made from spring steel. Storage includes three under-seat lockers. The turtledeck is removable. The standard engine used is the 45 hp (34 kW) Half VWfour-stroke powerplant.[1][2]
