Order Placed
The GT is finished and the bathroom has been remodeled, so it is time for a new project. We have been contemplating building an airplane for some time. After several test flights, many hours researching and exploring options, we have decided to build a Carbon Cub.
This is a slick plane based on the Piper Super Cub, but vastly improved. It climbs at over 2000 FPM, empty weight of around 950 pounds, 180 HP engine, and qualifies as a Light Sport when completed. Great fun to fly.
During one of my most recent of countless visits to the Carbon Cub website I chanced upon the November 15, 2013 bulletin summarizing the 2014 updates and improvements. Among them was the following:
I look forward to the Cub EX landing in its 18 foot crate at my door step around March 1, 2014.
The next three months: so much to learn, so little time.
This project is a bit off topic for this forum, but if there is any interest I may continue to post progress posts in this section.

“CubCrafters has added a new kick-panel at the front of the cabin providing a cup/bottle holder for the pilot.”
This upgrade with the clincher. The next day I called Chris Cater, Great Lakes Cubs, Cadillac MI, and confronted him with a long list of questions, including whether the cup holder was rated for spins and rolls (it’s not). The order was placed the next day.
