Orion Cub USA

10/08/2026

From mock-up to the real thing. Back at Oshkosh, we talked with the designer of the Orion Cub about the idea for a bigger baggage door, with the opening taped out on the airframe. Now Orion Cub has finished it, and the new 31" baggage doors are here.

Camping gear, fishing rods, tie-downs, whatever the trip calls for, there's more room to work with and easier access getting it in and out.

From the wild backcountry of South Africa... straight to Oshkosh. ✈️🇺🇸

This incredible footage shows exactly what the finished OrionCUB is capable of. But if you want to see the flawless engineering that makes this performance possible, you’re in luck.

Right now, our first US OrionCUB is loaded on a truck and heading straight to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh! 🚚💨

We are bringing it to the show as an open "skeleton" build. The wings are on, the instrument panel is fitted, but the fuselage is completely uncovered. We wanted you to be able to look directly inside, inspect the welds, see the structural integrity, and check out the bones of this machine yourself.

Waiting for Oshkosh has us counting down the days...

There's nothing quite like the feeling before AirVenture. The planning, the packing, the anticipation of seeing thousands of aircraft and the people who love them all in one place again.

A few more days and we'll be walking the grounds with all of you, talking planes, swapping stories, and soaking in everything that makes this week special.

See you on the field.🫵
