    Think it was 5 1/2 miles from johnson creek to yellow pine on our one wheels. Pretty cool ride there and back.

    My new big engine XCUB on 35s. Preformed really well at the STOL demo. Fuel burn was about 8-10 gals less every fuel stop then the FX3 I was traveling with. At 75% power 5500’ was 130-135TAS.

    Is the aluminum leaf spring main gear now optional? I used to think that was a sure way to distinguish the XCub from the other models.

    This is a EAB version not certified. So spring gear is a option on these.

    The amount of buzzards down here this year has been crazy. If you ever wonder what a buzzard would do to a wing, Customer said it flew fine afterwards and flew it about 10 miles back home.
