Questions:
1. What Indicated Airspeed do you see in Top Cub at say 4,000 with 26" Tundra Tires?
2. What Indicated Airspeed do you see in Carbon Cub SS under same condition as above?
3. Does the Top Cub get up pretty quickly when loaded say half fuel and one person? Climb rate?
4. My only reason for not immediately deciding on Carbon Cub is the low useful load. I know that it is tested for 6 Gs at 1320 pounds and if homebuilt experimental can carry 950 pounds. But conversion from SLSA to Experimental of a factory-built plane appears to be prohibited. Can anyone enlighten me about this. I will not fly over any legal limit weight.
5. It appears that there may be a loophole on a factory built LSA conversion to Experimental IF the buyer builds a small portion of the plane. It used to be 51%, but now I think it is only 1%. Comments?
6. FAA appears to be proposing to prohibit LSA conversion to ELSA. Have they dropped this proposal? It would be devastating to Carbon Cub.
7. Are Cub Crafters moving forward to certify their Carbon Cub under Part 23 like the Top Cub? That would be great, especially if they would raise the useful load to at least 650 pounds. I'd run over them to buy one. Comments?
Please forgive me for asking questions that may have been asked before.
THANKS
