The ideal companion for your next wild adventure!

Introduced for the first time at AERO (D) 2009, the Savage Cub is the result of an intense re-engineering and restyling work of our R&D team. In the years before it made its first appearance, we noticed how many of our customers were giving a rather heavy-duty use to our aircrafts, operating often from rough terrain, landing on mountain strips and so on. During those years, the Savage Classic (our first plane introduced in the market, now discontinued) was proving to be already a very suited aircraft for “light” bush flying and adventure flying in general. Receiving a lot of feedbacks from dealers and customers worldwide, as well from some very well known professional bush pilots from Alaska, we started filling a list of wished upgrades and reinforcements to convert the Savage Classic into one of the best bush flying “light” aircraft in the ULM category.

An intense part of this job involved additional reinforcements in some critical areas of the fuselage, as well as the design of a new set of very robust landing gear.

The Savage Cub got also a new aluminum cowling, reshaped windows and fuselage, new tail design, wingtips and reinforced flaps. We also decided to introduce a new optional 6” HD Extended landing gear for even more demanding operations. Delivering more and more often a wide selection of original Alaskan bushwheel tires, from 26” to 31”, baby bush tailwheels with our redesigned new fork, reinforced tail leafs, pneumatic shock absorbers, stronger brakes and so on, we basically converted the aircraft in a new reference point for the bush flying community.

Enjoying the freedom and the real adventure spirit of the bush flying, really started to generate more and more passion among the sport flying community.

The Savage CUB became since the beginning, the perfect tool for many pilots jumping into the bush flying discipline for the first time, as well to seasoned operators and specialized flight schools.

At that time, the amateur bushflying was beginning to grow all over the world and we certainly did our part in this process and this is probably one of the reasons why our plane was chosen and included inside the new MFS 2020 video game produced by Microsoft and Asobo Studio and it was “the first plane” shown inside their “official” pre-order Launch Trailer, which has now been viewed by more than 5 milion people on youtube.
