Well its slow and you cant fly upside down. I suggest you get the Vestra instead if you have the cash, you can't fly upside down either but its the second fastest plane available.

Only got 280000, so my limit is the mallard, cuban, and crop duster but I need 2 seats or more

Don't get a plane, they all spawn in the world anyway. However the Duster is awesome, 2 seater and handles almost as well as a stunt plane

It's not that fast but If your skilled enought in a plane it can still be good. I bought it as my first plane and haven't looked back, It looks great and since it's cheap and not many people buy it it isn't constantly used for suicide bombing like the Luxor.

 

It might not be the fastest but it get's the job done.

I like it but there's really no point in buying a plane.Unless you really want the vestra

This plane would be more useful if it hadthe carpet bombing feature from SP, although, with a 10 minute cooldown

It's the only plane I own and with 33 days of game time I have flown it a grand total of 3 times... lol

I have one and it takes 2 missile shots before exploding, the first one puts the engines on fire.

 

But its not worth it, save up for the upcoming planes.

I own every plane and the Cuban 800 is my favorite plane. It's beautiful and the twin propeller engines lets it glide thru the air with little turbulence

 

Yes it's not as fast as the Vestra but it has more personality.I'd choose Cuban over mallard and crop duster. Cuban 800 =Swag

It's not the fastest, but it's one of my favourite planes. I like the way it looks and the way it handles.

It's slow. But it's still my favorite plane in the game. I really like that it's slow because it makes it like a scenic flight and makes the map feel a lot bigger than it is. And I just love the sound of of it's props.

Take it for a test flight. I'd also recommend trying out the duster in SP. Pick the one you like more and buy it first. Planes aren't about being useful, imo, they're about being enjoyed. I have a duster and a luxor, although I like the cuban as well and will probably end up buying it at some point in time. On the other hand I find the Vestra to be downright ugly and wouldn't fly it if someone else bought it for me.

 

Both the duster and the cuban are fun to fly, the duster being more nimble but slower. Basically a slower, bi-plane version of the mallard. The cuban is mediocre in pretty much all areas, but a great looking plane and easy to fly with a fairly short landing distance making it easy to land in tight spots. It has a faster takeoff than the duster as well.

The only plane I own across my characters for a reason. Super easy to fly and just chill in, and it just has the vibe of one of those rare machines that has a soul. You get in it, fire it up and even though it skip and belches smoke, it'll take you anywhere, and you know it's been everywhere.

If u like to fly buy it! I'm in the air a lot...I dig the cuban...it's slow and not the most maneuverable....but it's fun if you like to fly. If you're not an avid pilot I say skip it.

I have the vestra cuban and duster. I also have the mallard. My favourite plan is the cuban for sure. Love switching the engines off and gliding it in. Its fun flying it around with one engine out of action too. Its just a cool machine all around. The vestra is good for getting somewhere fast but once you factor in high speed more difficult landings you don't really arrive any faster.

 

Of course you should really wait till after Tuesday in case they add more planes

I dig the duster. Really wish there was a combat capable version and that other people could see the smoke trail/pesticides.

 

Fly the Duster and hold (A/X) (Xbox/PS) to cause a short trail behind the plane. It seats two, pilot in rear and passenger in front. It may not be the fastest but I am able to land on city streets, park and take off again without any issues beyond traffic.

Actually I take it back the Cuban is amazing as **** I just nose dived into the pavement and it only lost one engine. Gliding in it is also fun as hell

Don't purchase a plane. I have ten million and steal most of my planes and cars. Sad I can't pick the location where my plane spawns that would help me.

I bought the Cuban back during the Billionaire Days and never flew it once.

 

With my second char i only bought the Pegasus vehicles I'll use, The ONLY reason why i would buy the Cuban again is if it comes equpted with bombs like it does with that side-mission for Trevor otherwise i won't buy it.

 

Besides it spawns at the Sandy Shores & Grapeseed Airfields.

 

They spawn INSIDE the hangars though
