New Boy Buying Carbon SS

[Steve Y]

Just wanted to introduce myself. Just ordered a new Carbon Cub SS from Ben (California Cubs- Cubcrafter Dealer) in California. it's #283, to be delivered Sept. 18, 2013. After owning a mint J3 for a couple of years, I flew a friends Carbon Cub SS and you know the rest. Will base the Cub at Thermal, CA. at my hanger. The N number will be 122YY (as reserved by FAA). I have a civil aviation background since I soloed at 14 in a sailplane in Tehachapi, Ca., taught Lufthansa Pilots for 15 years in Arizona for PSA Airlines, and currently am a Captain at United on the B767/757 in LAX.
I look forward to meeting folks here and learning about the Carbon Cub SS.

Thank You

Steven Young

Hi Steve,
Grab your friend and join a group of Carbon Cub owners at a picturesque ranch in the mountains outside of Santa Barbara on the 18th. We're expecting around 10 Carbon Cubs, so it's a great opportunity to see a wide variety of airplanes (including the Darth Vader mystery ship) and to learn from each owner. There will be a technical/product update, along with flying tips from Ben. Hope you can make it!

Flew the 757 right over the factory twice going into SEA this week end. Would have said hi if they had a radio? What a concept to be flying a nice jet and looking down wishing you were flying your new Carbon Cub....Darn pilots are never satisfied!

Great visit to Yakima to learn and tour the fine operation at CubCrafters. I learned
more than I could have imagined about the refined and complicated proccess of
building my new Carbon Cub SS. It reaffirms why I bought one!
Glued to station 7 & 8 cameras to see #283 (Classic yellow) show in avionics!
My Sincere thanks to all the fine team at CubCrafters for their hospitality.

Of course I had my GoPro camera to capture the experience :

Unfortunately Brian has "semi retired" from his flying/teaching activities. It might be possible to talk him into it though.
