  • The Carbon Cub is for the most part the same plane as Cub Crafter's Sport Cub. It has few changes done to the fuselage, wings, and gear. It has two 11 gallon fuel tanks, I know I built them! I know the tanks were close to empty on the record take off but that is exactly what it was built to do is short take offs. I dont think it's a gimmick. It is an awesome peice of art. We had fun building it!

  • chunk62: I didn't mean that the plane was a gimmick, I really admire what you guys did and agree that it is an awesome work of art. I just meant that the short take off is a 'gimmick' of sorts in that it's an exhibition type of thing and the aircraft is configured to do that single feat with exceptional results. In other words: I didn't mean it in a bad way...

  • wooooooow man my jaw dropped. i can see the pilot now gripping the yok for dear life

  • holly shit...

  • A little more head wing and the plane can takeoff going backwards. That would be nice to see.

  • Great example of old plane, new technology and performance as needed for those special occasions.

    Seems like a good plan to reduce climb and gain some airspeed after the high performance takeoff.

    How much would "normal load" degrade takeoff performance?

  • @DMCcornish your gonna need a airplane right or do you just need an older man and think this is a good way to meat guys.

  • @hogey74 I am 14 now and really want to fly and dont want to wait till im 34 so what steps could you reccomend me taking to get in the air sooner?

  • holy mariachis!!!!!,....can somebody tell me in how many distance can be land this kind of plane?

  • @sixmagpies Actually its a UFO

  • That truly is STOL in action.

  • I didn't know Cub Crafters was making helicopters now!  Great work there.
