another great video Juan. when you guys fly in the winter, are there covers you put on the sides? do you run heaters in the cabin? are they electric or do they use engine heat?
No covers, in extreme cold you can cover some of the engine air inlets on the engine cowl to keep oil temps warm. The cabin is heated off a heat muff from the exhaust like an old VW. The plexiglass windows provide a nice 'greenhouse' when the sun is out. Keep a simple CO detector on board when running the heater.
Amazing! Kinda lost the traditional art of flying back country but hey if money is yr thing then go & burn it up!:-) Not too sure how you get 24 square (power setting) on a fixed pitch prop set up.
Got to fly one of those across the country for a while. Absolute blast. Miss it a lot.
Being a CB 500X owner, what a surprise to see you there, sharing the same interest for this Super Cub.!
Love that ring tone. Kevin is the Bo Duke of airplanes flying the General Cub.
Wow, a Super Cub revision 2 would definitely be the ideal Super Cub for me.
Thanks for talking price! Nice to know, most people never say what it is.
Amazing aircraft!
About $200k into it and 3 years later it's for sale for $210k. Not a bad investment. Have fun in it for 3 years then turn a profit. Very slick plane.
10 grand for probably a thousand hours of labor to build it? Not very good wages in my opinion.
another great video!....hey, have you seen Mike Patey's "DRACO"?....that plane is unbelievable!
Road Dog yes!
Super, super stol cub.Congratulations!!
Thanks Alberto!
Thanks for the great video.
LOL cranking & then yells "clear!"
Shine on you crazy diamond. Superb!
I live in about 10 miles from the airport over in martell and im also really close to trukee

Thats a gorgeous plane
Juan what is the longest non stop flight you have ever flown in the Mighty Luscombe ?
just under 3 hours
Nice ragwing Luscombe.
What is the lowest takeoff and land roll she can achieve?
Can you list the propeller specifications, Thank You
nice plane
Think it’s for sale on Cubcrafters site...
Yep, he went Carbon Cub.
Thats so cool I always wonder why he sold it so fast
He said once it was "too slow"
what do you use it for ?
Landing in extreme backcountry locations not suitable for any other aircraft.
Yea, a more impact receptive softer tire is going to be more stable on rough terrain......In my opinion.
Yep! low pressure helps too...
200 grand? Maan, that is expensive! Youu can get a usen Murphy Moose with the russian radial M14P with little over 100 grand.
Wonder why he changed to a Cub Crafter plane recently...

Ok so the real question - can I fit my 350 XCF in the back?!
Obviously the airlines have screwed you. However, keep up doing what your doing.
Sweet
Pre Flying Cowboys?
I am drooling all over my I pad
Make them cheaper and i would buy one
You can now get the kit for $86,050
Way over priced and no performance stats on their web site.Just sayin.
18 mph stall speed. Just sayin
