    Default Carbon Cub EX-2

    Some news from Sun-n-fun today.

    The EX-2 revision includes an extensive series of improvements and upgrades to the kit, but the primary components are the new G-Series ailerons, flaps, and tail feathers. The G-Series control surfaces of theEX-2 improve controllability in all aspects of the flight envelope.

    The roll authority of the Carbon Cub EX-2 has been improved by redesigning the aileron airfoil and relocating the hinge point. CubCrafters’ G-Series ailerons deliver markedly lighter and crisper roll response compared to legacy aircraft. Control harmony is even better than the original.

    That upgrade is almost as significant as the addition of the cup holder in 2013.

    Will be interesting to see what other refinements have been added

    Regarding the EX2, wonder if the upgraded flaps and ailerons will be used in the Cub SS and Sport Cub, or if certification issues will limit the upgrades to the EX?

    Wonder if existing planes can be upgraded? Suspect not since the supports appear markedly different making a retrofit impractical.
