At Orion Cub USA, we build planes that last. Anti-corrosion treatments like etching and alodining make metal parts last longer against the elements. At our build center, we can treat even the large parts that are hard to immerse, so we're safeguarding our Orion Cub's internal wing ribs and other parts.

A mock up of the full Garmin IFR panel for the first USA Orion Cub: equipment includes G3X, GTN375 Navigator, G5 backup, 2-axis autopilot, dual comms, and VP-X.

It's a tight fit, but we think we can make it all work.

A close-up look at the Orion Cub in action from our friend Eddie as he lands on a par 5 at the Annual Agricultural Golf Day.

Check out the stunning views of the South African landscape as he makes the quick trip from the Orion Cub air strip to the golf course.

Orion Aircraft is on a mission to redefine backcountry flying. Designed with a 4130 chromoly fuselage the Orion Cub is longer, wider and taller than most in its class.

It holds two people with room in the back for golf clubs 🏌⛳️
