Super Sport Cub

Coming next month to the HKY airport: http://cubcrafters.com/supersportcub/default.aspx
Unlike the sport cub, the plane I am training in, this little beast has nearly twice the horse power. At Sea Level, she will climb at a rate of 2,100'/min. At 10,000' the climb rate is cut in half, yet is still twice the climb rate of the sport cub. Stalling Speed is around 32mph. I am assuming this is full flaps, as this is the same stalling speed in the sport cub when full flaps are used. Hopefully my job will have me in town so I can watch the demo and maybe even have an opporunity to take a ride! Have a look at their video on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AhUkjjpSOs

  1. I saw this plane at Sun 'n Fun a couple weeks ago and was impressed. But watching the video you posted is really impressive. Thanks for sharing.
