In the 1990s, following the discontinuation of the Skywagon 185, the Cyclone aircraft emerged as an innovative improvement over its predecessor. Cyclone introduced advancements to the original design and gained popularity, offering aircraft as kits to builders.
In a significant development, in 2021, Bushliner Aircraft successfully acquired the manufacturing rights to the Cyclone. This pivotal acquisition brought together Bushliner’s vision, talent, and capabilities with the Cyclone design, paving the way for the mass production of the all-new Bushliner Cyclone 1850.
The 1850 is available in two versions, an experimental amateur built kit (1850EX), or factory assisted completion (1850FX).

Testimonials
THE PERFECT BACKCOUNTRY FAMILY AIRCRAFT
After years of research on what aircraft to buy for a backcountry & family airplane, I stumbled across my dream airplane. One I didn’t even know existed. It’s a Skywagon clone in the experimental category.
My plane is called the Super Cyclone 185, now named and further improved by Bushliner and known as The Bushliner Cyclone 1850.
I am amazed every time I fly. In my opinion it is the best backcountry all around airplane on the market. It’s essentially a 4 place super cub on steroids. I can haul 4 large people comfortably, ample fuel, and 300 lbs of luggage. I can fly fast or slow. I have never taken over 800’ of runway fully loaded even with poor conditions. These long wings love to fly.
One of my favorite attributes is that it’s in new condition. It’s not a 50+ year old airplane, but yet it has the straight tail, extended wing and all the backcountry mods that make a bush plane even better.
