Backcountry aircraft manufacturer CubCrafters has announced an upgrade of its kit aircraft based on the popular Carbon Cub.
The new Carbon Cub EX-2 is designed to improve upon the company’s Carbon Cub EX, an Experimental Amateur Built (E-AB) kit that features a lightweight airframe and powerful engine that provide improved off-airport performance. The Carbon Cub EX-2 makes its market debut at the Sun ‘n Fun International Fly-In & Expo this week
The EX-2 revision includes an extensive series of improvements and upgrades to the original Carbon Cub EX kit, but the primary components are the new G-Series ailerons, flaps, and tail feathers. The G-Series control surfaces of the EX-2 improve controllability in all aspects of the flight envelope.
“The Carbon Cub EX-2 is a study in balance,” Jim Richmond, CEO of CubCrafters says. “It would be comparatively easy to build an airplane that takes off short, lands short, or one that carries a heavy payload. The Carbon Cub EX-2 does those things, but it is also a true pilot’s airplane. It provides responsive handling, cross-country comfort, as well as fit and finish that inspire pride of ownership.”
The new Carbon Cub EX-2 is now available from CubCrafters Certified Sales Centres.
