    Default New Carbon Cub FX-3

    This post has been moved from General CubCrafters.

    Brad Damm is currently on a demo tour with the first production Carbon Cub FX-3. So far, the airplane has been well received, and Brad is gathering PIREPs as his travels proceed.

    You can read our dealer's impressions on the CubCrafters BLOG. We'll update with new posts as they come in. Look for information about the new airplane on the CubCrafters website next week.

    More heat is a really good thing. The naca duct on the bottom is a really smart way to increase airflow through the system which is the main issue. The original scoop doesn't really work well. Looking forward to hearing more of the great design changes.

    All-

    We have finally, officially, launched the new Carbon Cub EX-3 and FX-3 aircraft. Additions to the website are being pushed live now (may take a few hours). You will find information in various locations on cubcrafters.com, but look specifically at http://cubcrafters.com/carboncub, http://cubcrafters.com/carboncub/fx, and http://cubcrafters.com/carboncub/ex for specifications.

    Chuck Kinberger, from SWT Aviation in Florida, and Mike Sasser, from Boomerang Air in Austin, have each posted their FX-3 PIREP on the BLOG. Very interesting to read their perspectives on the new airplane.
