    Default Carbon fiber parts

    Posing this question more towards the folks at Cub Crafters-
    I'm curious as to why the carbon Cubs do not use carbon fiber flaps, ailerons and leading edges on wings?
    i am guessing you guys looked at it as a possibility?
    thanks!

    We take the weight of the Carbon Fiber part and the weight of the same aluminum part and the one that weighs less wins. We have run into the aluminum parts that have won.
