Worked Previously At ECI, Taylorcraft

Noting its new aircraft deliveries continue to accelerate across all product lines, CubCrafters tells ANN it named Winston Larison to the newly created position "Manager, Customer Support" Thursday.

"We recognize the increasing need for enhanced customer and product support, including more proactive and responsive communication between CubCrafters and our owner-operators," said CubCrafters President Todd Simmons. "With this announcement today, we have taken a bold but important step in CubCrafters growth. We’ve raised our own standard in our warranty and support efforts."

Winston brings to the position nearly 15 years of experience in general aviation repair, restoration and maintenance, the majority of that specific to tube and fabric aircraft. Prior to joining CubCrafters earlier this year, Winston was at Engine Components, Incorporated (ECI) in Texas with its GA piston research and development team.

Before his work at ECI, Winston was the quality inspector and technical advisor for Taylorcraft Aviation. Winston earned his A&P certificate in 1999, graduated from the Aviation Maintenance Technology program at Rice Aviation/Houston Community College in 1996, and received his private pilot’s license in 1995. Winston’s current project outside of work is a complete restoration of his 1940 Taylorcraft.

"As you can see from his experience... Winston is very well qualified to lead our customer support efforts, especially for new Sport Cubs and Top Cubs," Simmons continued. "Though his focus right now is creating a support infrastructure, he is working closely with our engineering, production and quality assurance areas to get important information from the field back to those teams. At the same time, our new aircraft customers can utilize Winston as their internal advocate to coordinate with CubCrafters Services for parts support and repair services when those are required."
