About this vehicle
The Western Company Cuban 800 is a two-seat, twin-prop monoplane in the Planes class. Its fuselage, landing gear, engine nacelles and wing tanks closely follow a real light twin-engine aircraft, while its tail takes cues from other real designs. It appears in white with silver or blue trim, blue with white, and red with white. The aircraft has a small storage bay, and its name is printed on the rudder.
Elitás Travel sells the Cuban 800 for $240,000. In Grand Theft Auto V, it can appear at Sandy Shores Airfield, around Fort Zancudo, outside Michael's hangar, and over the Alamo Sea, while Trevor may be seen flying a black example over Redwood Lights Track. A purchased aircraft can be kept at Trevor's hangar and used for Arms Trafficking Air. Trevor and Ron steal weapon-loaded Cuban 800s in Nervous Ron, deliver their cargo to Oscar Guzman near Lago Zancudo, then fly them back to McKenzie Field. Trevor also uses one to reach North Yankton in Bury the Hatchet.
Its two piston engines let it remain airborne after one fails, though speed and control fall away and the aircraft rolls toward the damaged side. It is durable, but its weight makes the nose pitch downward and causes rapid altitude loss in inverted flight. It suits relaxed flying more than sharp manoeuvres or efficient bombing runs. In Grand Theft Auto Online, it is also supplied free with a hangar purchase, can carry 50 bombs after Smuggler's Run, and is used for Special Cargo deliveries and the Smuggler Plane random event.
Trivia
- ◆Leftovers of Rockstar North's Agent found in the handling files of (under "Jimmy vehicles" section) reveal that the plane was originally meant for Agent.
- ◆The name is a likely reference to the Cuban Eight aerobatic flight figure-eight maneuver. It can also be a reference to the fact that small twin-engined planes such as this one are frequently used for smuggling drugs and other illegal merchandise in and around Cuba, Central America, and South America. This will explain its use in Arms Trafficking side missions.
- ◆The propellers on the plane are counter-rotating, in that they turn in opposite directions. This is quite unusual for General aviation twin engine aircraft, since both propellers usually turn right.
- ◆The Elitás Travel 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. This has been fixed in GTA Online.
- ◆Prior to the San Andreas Flight School Update, the Cuban 800 will be all black when purchased from Elitás Travel.
- ◆A Cuban 800 can be rarely found (locked) inside the Vapid Hangar at the McKenzie Airfield, in the red livery that Trevor uses for the Arms Trafficking side missions.
