New Systems From BRS Aerospace Available For Installation On CubCrafters Fleet Of LSA, Kit, And Builder Assist Aircraft

CubCrafters is announcing the availability of new airframe  parachute systems for the company’s existing fleet of adventure airplanes. In May of 2016, the company  introduced systems for new production Carbon Cubs. Now, retrofit parachutes may be installed at  CubCrafters, and at select Authorized Service Centers.

The airframe parachute systems, developed in  partnership with BRS Aerospace, contribute to the safety of CubCrafters’ already exceptional aircraft  designs by providing pilots with a safe course of action in otherwise difficult emergencies.

"The extraordinarily slow stall speed, fundamentally sound wing design and vortex generators assure low-speed stability and maneuverability in all CubCrafters aircraft." said Randy Lervold, CubCrafters’ President. “The super-strong chrome-moly steel cage surrounding occupants in the Sport Cub and Carbon Cub is best in class. The addition of BRS systems to our fleet not only provides a proven life-saving technology, but also additional peace of mind for Carbon Cub pilots and passengers.”

The new BRS parachute system retrofits are available for CubCrafters’ production Sport Cub and Carbon  Cub SS aircraft, as well as the company’s Carbon Cub FX Builder Assist model and their EX/EX-2 kits.

Two retrofit models are available:
LSA Sport Cub and Carbon Cub SS models, for gross weight up to 1,320 lbs. (1,430 lbs. on floats). This version weighs 41.4 lbs. and is priced at $15,990 installed.
Carbon Cub EX, EX-2 and FX experimental aircraft for gross weight up to 1,865 lbs. This  configuration weighs 43.5 lbs. and is priced at $11,990 as a kit, or $15,990 installed.

The new BRS airframe parachute systems may be installed at CubCrafters Services in Yakima or at six  select Authorized Service Centers across the United States.
