Coming in at # 9 on our list of ultralight aircraft that give you the biggest bang for your buck is the Belite ProCub Lite. The ProCub Lite is a really cool aircraft that looks and feels like a nostalgic J3 Cub, but flies under ultralight rules. Belite has paid particular attention to visual details like the look of the tail and the sweep of the wingtips. They have also paid attention to technical details: the strength and lightness of the structure, the aerodynamics of the wing shape, the ease of manufacture and kit building. The ProCub Lite can be equipped with an old fashioned 4-stroke engine, for that proper nostalgic sound and great fuel economy. But it also works with a state-of-the art, water-cooled 2-stroke engine with gear reduction. The Belite ProCub Lite takes off very quickly. Getting airborne in less than 100 feet, and it can land in twice that distance. The monster size wheels are tundra class so The Belite ProCub Lite can handle off road and off airport destinations There are many technical points within the new Belite ProCub Lite design. The most unusual are: •The rear fuselage is manufactured using CNC cut foam with embedded aluminum or carbon fiber longerons and supports. The resulting structure is surprisingly smooth.

• For safety and ease of assembly, the cabin is manufactured from Belite's crash-proven CNC aluminum structure. • The wing is manufactured either from classic spar and rib construction, or from CNC cut foam. All wings feature the rounded Hoerner wingtips. • When the CNC cut foam is selected for the wing, the overall look of the wing is nearly absolutely smooth, eliminating drag and providing a stunning visual appearance. • The turtledeck (upper rear fuselage) is also CNC cut foam, and provides a completely smooth, aerodynamic structure complete with nostalgic half moon windows. The aircraft has been engineered to support the Polini Thor 250, a 35 HP water cooled, engine with a geared reduction. Flying at Sun N Fun the engine really showed it's performance. CONSTRUCTION New processes were developed to further decrease weight and allow for a more functional aircraft. The rear fuselage is constructed of foam and carbon fiber. The cabin is all aluminum. Tailfeathers, flaperons and turtledeck are also carbon fiber/foam. Wings include rounded wingtip cut from CNC foam. Pilots can choose between the classic rib and spar construction or continuous foam surface.
