“

One of the best-selling aircrafts of all time, with the Cuban 800 you really are buying a piece of history, rusted rivets and all. This light engine plane might look like it was put together with one of those Krapea hex keys, but these bad boys were built to last. Plus for $32,000 you can't exactly expect a cocktail bar and a stripper pole.

The Western Company Cuban 800 is a light twin-engine plane in Grand Theft Auto V.

Design

It is based on the Piper PA-30 Twin Comanche with features derived from the PA-23 Aztec, Cessna 310, and Beech-56 Baron.

The aeroplane is available in white-and-blue (the most common variant), white-and-red (rare), and black (uncommon).

Performance

The Cuban 800 is powered by two 4-cylinder piston engines. These engines are good enough to propel the aeroplane, but nothing further. If one engine fails in flight, the Cuban 800 can be flown safely on the other engine, at the cost of decreased airspeed and maneuverability; if one engine fails on the ground, it is impossible to get the plane in the air. In some cases however, when the entire plane is shot or damaged instead of only the engine, the plane can only be flown on a single engine for a short time before the other one starts smoking and fails. The weight of the plane severely affects performance - the nose, in particular, causes the plane to constantly pitch downwards in flight. It is, however, highly reliable and can take quite a few beatings.

The Cuban 800 is suitable for leisurely flight, but where performance and maneuverability are essential, it is not the ideal aircraft.

GTA V

Can be bought for $240,000 from ElitasTravel.com.
Can be found landing and taxiing to a hangar next to Trevor's at Sandy Shores Airfield.
Sometimes when switching to Trevor he may be flying a black Cuban 800.
Sometimes can be found flying away from Fort Zancudo.
Sometimes can be found outside Michael's hangar, behind a Mammatus.

Trivia

The ElitasTravel.com description of the plane states that the plane is worth $32,000. This contradicts with the actual price of the plane, which is $240,000. The most likely cause for this is that Rockstar Games believed the price was too low and forgot to change the description. This has been fixed in GTA Online.
The plane can be flown upside down for some time, but loses altitude at a gradual rate.
The name is a likely reference to the Cuban Eight aerobatic flight figure-eight manoeuvre.
In Story mode, when switching to Trevor, he might spawn flying an all-black Cuban 800 above Redwood Lights Track. It can be stored at his hangar at Sandy Shores Airfield.
The Cuban 800 will be all black when purchased from ElitasTravel.com.
NPC pilots landing the Cuban 800 at Sandy Shores Airfield will walk into the spinning propellers, resulting in death of course, if the player positions their character behind the pilot's door. This proves useful when attempting to steal an aeroplane without attracting attention.
The Cuban 800 is the first aircraft in the series that can drop bombs; the RC Baron is the first vehicle to drop bombs, although this is possible only during missions for both vehicles.
The propellers on the plane turn in opposite direction, this is quite unusual for General Aviation twin engine aircraft since both propellers usually turn right.

+The [[Western Company]] '''Cuban 800''' is a light twin-engine [[Fixed-Wing Aircraft|plane]] in ''[[Grand Theft Auto V]]''.
+== Design ==
 It is based on the [[wp:Piper PA-30 Twin Comanche|Piper PA-30 Twin Comanche]] with features derived from the [[wp:Piper PA-23|PA-23 Aztec]], [[wp:Cessna 310|Cessna 310]], and [[wp:Beechcraft Baron|Beech-56 Baron]].
+The aeroplane is available in white-and-blue (the most common variant), white-and-red (rare), and black (uncommon).
 == Performance ==
-The Cuban 800 is propelled by two mid-power turboprop engines. These engines can sufficiently bring the aircraft up to full speed in several seconds. The plane has a relatively short takeoff distance, and is very maneuverable on land, but the reaction time for the plane to maneuver while in flight is slow, but manangable. The aircraft's bulky chasis is seemed to have been build on a small wheel-base, making it difficult to land at times. Unlike other aircraft in the game, the engines are fairly strong, and can take a good beating before they give off and fail. If one engine does in fact fail, and another engine is left, it will safely propell the aircraft with a shorter airspeed and slower maneuverability.
+The Cuban 800 is powered by two 4-cylinder piston engines. These engines are good enough to propel the aeroplane, but nothing further. If one engine fails in flight, the Cuban 800 can be flown safely on the other engine, at the cost of decreased airspeed and maneuverability; if one engine fails on the ground, it is impossible to get the plane in the air. In some cases however, when the entire plane is shot or damaged instead of only the engine, the plane can only be flown on a single engine for a short time before the other one starts smoking and fails.

It is, however, highly reliable and can take quite a few beatings.
+The Cuban 800 is suitable for leisurely flight, but where performance and maneuverability are essential, it is not the ideal aircraft.
-Overall, the performance combined with reliability makes this plane ideal for tough jobs and long trips.
