While at EAA AirVenture 2014, ANN’s Michael Maya Charles stopped to talk with John Whitish, the Marketing Manager for CubCrafters. Charles started off with the comment that the CubCrafters product line seems to be expanding in a period of time that other facets of general aviation have been in the decline.
Whitish replied that CubCrafters was in the right place at the right time in 2008 when they brought out their Carbon Cub. He said it proved to be the right product for the recreational market and they have continued to grow since that time. He pointed out that while it is based on the legendary Piper Super Cub, it’s actually lighter, stronger, and has significantly better performance.
Whitish said that with the 180 hp Carbon Cub at the top end of their product line they continued to bring out other cub-like aircraft to round out their selection of recreational airplanes. As the interview progresses you’ll hear more details about other CubCrafters products and their continued ability to rebuild and refurbish Piper Cubs. You’ll also get to see some terrific flying scenes of what could be one of the world’s best backcountry airplanes in action.
