    Default Sport cub challenges

    Crossed off another item on my bucket list by landing on this table top mesa near Grand Coulee Dam. The Mesa is about 3000 MSL and with 85 deg temps in the morning density atlitude was about 5000 MSL

    Carbon Cubs are great but don't discount the S1 and it capabilities. I still have not reached the edge of its capabilities...It is still an amazing aircraft!

    Please enjoy!

    Great picture. I live in Gilbert AZ, but I'm from Okanogan WA. I flew the CC with Ben Hodges and love the airplane but would like to fly the S1 or S2 to compare. I am trying to plan a vacation to Okanogan in October. Do you do intro flights in that area?

    George,

    Gilbert is on the Mesa / Chandler boarder. I'm 2 miles from Gateway airport. I would love to meet with you when you come down to AZ.

    Geo,
    It will be great to have a Cubcrafters instructor here for the winter. I guess I'll be asking my wife for
    a tailwheel endorsement for christmas.
