BRAND NEW 2017 CubCrafters Carbon Cub EX-2
“ORANGE CRUSH” nose art is an original oil on canvas painting done exclusively for this plane by artist Marc Poole. It was painted and then digitally transferred to vinyl for attachment to the plane.
I have MANY more photos of the plane in much detail that I can email.
This is one of the very first of the new EX-2 Carbon Cubs. This new model included numerous upgrades over the original EX version with the biggest change being the new G-Series control surfaces (ailerons; tailfeathers and flaps). The flap are true slotted flats. The G-Series makes positive controllability of the aircraft at unbelievable low airspeeds. You can read more about these at http://cubcrafters.com/c/2017/02/g-series-flaps-and-ailerons-faqs/
To order one of these from the CubCrafters factory build program would take approximately 16 months at this time making delivery dates in July of 2018. This plane has been issued it’s Special Airworthiness Certificate and will able available for transfer after the 40 hour “fly-off” period. (estimated no later than May 1st)
Most every option and upgrade as been put into this special one-of-a-kind Carbon Cub.
