I need to start saving my pennies for this one! I hated how it looked when it was first released but the more I see it, and the more I hear how capable it is, It looks like a serious contender!!
People are all complaining about prop strikes but actually, the nose wheel is designed so that at full compression the prop isn’t touching the ground, and eventually they’re going to add a smaller diameter, 3 bladed prop so you can smash the nose gear even harder and not get a prop strike. Also, you can use unlimited brakes, which is something you can’t do without having a prop strike in a tail dragger.
I'm would never advocate the use of conventional (tail dragger) gear because I think it is obsolete and poses a lot of difficulties in handling. Every time I questioned a tail dragger pilot why he/she didn't buy/build a trycicle gear aircraft I've always received that ubiquitous answer: "because it's more demanding, challenging..."Go figure... I cannot understand that easily, but accept other pilots preferences and opinions. But, judging by what I've watched on the video, I doubt that the prop can't touch the ground at that arrangement. It was pretty clear for me there is only a tiny and scarce clearance. Depending on rotational speed it is not necessary to touch the ground itself - grass can produce damage (ask me how I know...). For what I've learned watching this (and other trike carbon cub videos), tail draggers carbon cubs are much more safe and efficient on non-prepared runways (even don't liking them). My opinion: back to drawing board and design something completely new. Well, Zenair already done it with CH701/801 and were very succesful in producing a effective and reliable trycicle gear bush plane. This nose gear carbon cub seems like a fancy excrescence and, since it is 180 degree free castoring nose wheel, it cannot add easiness on crosswind operations... my 2 cents.
@@RobertoRMOLA Some good points. But I don’t think one can call conventional gear simply “obsolete” like you could with say a manual car transmission. Planes went tricycle to get a level floor for easier loading of cargo and passengers. Tricycle is not more robust, the simple fact of a single attachment point/nose leg tube in the nose gear due to needing to turn limits its strength. The mains are where the strength is but you can’t keep a trike on the mains only if you use much braking, then you’re back on the weak nose gear and low prop, As for handling, the wheelbase length of a conventional gear is huge and this helps to keep them solid on rough ground. Trikes are only a few feet from mains to nose so they pitch for and aft ALOT on rough ground and the prop is bouncing up and down close to the ground the whole time, also trikes can tip forward onto the nose and one main with the prop and a wingtip on the ground. I’ve flown both configurations about half and half of my flying time and the only time I’ve ended up off the side of a runway unintentionally was due to wheelbarrowing on tricycle gear.
The prop may never touch the tarmac or a taxiway even with full brakes and full compressed nose suspension. But try taxiing in a field with rocks the size of basketballs or in long grass where you don’t see the dip or hole that your nose wheel drops into. This is hopeless for off airport flying, and a small diameter three or more blade prop will never pull as much air for a rapid take off roll as a long two blade. Small fast high pitch props are for high speed not for max thrust at low speed
As for the brakes, trike brakes are on the rear wheels only, so as you apply these “unlimited” brakes, the weight increases on the already weak unbraked nose wheel and the weight comes off your braked mains until one or both lock up and skid, try using rear brake only on a dirt bike and see how you go!! With conventional the downward pressure increases on the mains when you brake giving you even more authority, so much brake authority that you can tip them on the nose if your brakes are good enough. I argue that it’s conventional that have the “unlimited braking” power, as opposed to trikes that are very much limited by the weight moving forward and the wheel locks up, the plane keeps sliding till you hit the fence/tree etc
Wow your guys faces are Priceless you can't beat the childhood smile when you just got a new toy. AWSOME well done .. can't wait to come fly with you both. Some day soon..
I'd like to see it with main gear struts like the conventional gear model outfitted with monster shocks instead of spring steel. Make forward and rear mounts to quickly change to nose or tail wheel. Maybe a way to utilize the nose wheel as the tail wheel too.
Looks prop strike resistant but definitely can do some major weed whacking ... Overall a brilliant idea from CubCrafters because 90% of pilots are either scared , uncoordinated or ...well ... just don't feel like taking the time to pay an instructor for tail wheel time ... So the tail wheel only cloud likes it and so will the rest of the pilots world wide .... This allows possible 10 times more sales ... Almost think CubCrafters are in it to grow and make a profit ... : )
Yeah, it's a "Novelty" item. BUT! Who in heck ever wanted a "Cub" with a frickin nose wheel? I took my first lesson in 1968. And nose daggers were EVERYWHERE! I insisted on getting my Certificate in a tail-wheel aircraft. AND I'VE NEVER REGRETTED IT!
All tailwheel pilots grow old. Comes a time when our coordination and reactions can’t safety land a tail dragger. This is a great option. Please change the “smiley” looking cowling, it looks ridiculous from the front.
Mark Doan you can find a good used one for less than $100,000. Cubs are for tail dragging. This is a good idea. But most people want the big sexy tires and large long prop. And not spend money on an airplane that can cost as much as a house. A nose gear plane like this would never work in a cow pasture setting. If that wheel goes into a hole, it will be a prop strike. Sorry for being a critic but I think most people would agree.
is it designed so you can switch between tail wheel and nose wheel configuration? wish I could become a pilot and fly a Carbon Cub someday, not sure when I can do it
That "Training" wheel ruins the looks of a taildragger. I learned to fly in a 7Fc Tri-Champ 56 years ago. Couldn't wait to get into the 7Ec Taildragger at 30 hours. The taildragger checkout was 5 takeoffs and landings. I thought the instructor was crazy when he jumped out and said, "Keep practicing. You're doing well." Never ground looped a taildragger ever in approximately 4,000 taildragger landings in Champs, Maules, C-180, Luscombe, L-19, T-6, Pawnee, and AgCat. I don't understand why some people have a problem with conventional gear?
I’m not pilot, i’m curious to what the advantage of a nose wheel is. It seems to me that would be more aerodynamic drag then a small wheel of the tail.
I'm not a pilot either but it seems it is all about visibility, you can see the landing strip clearly while landing , when tail goes down in the original CUB you end up watching the stars and can't see where you are heading. During takeoff during the first seconds when the tail is still down, same problem, can not see where are you heading. Since a few seconds are needed to raise the tail in the original CUB and the NX already has the tail up then the NX version requires less runway.
Blasphemy! I soloed in a PA-18 Super Cub in 1961! That aircraft was meant to have a tail wheel! I know from experience that nose wheels are not at their best on unimproved airstrips!
Hey Kevin, Cory, that nose gear needs more dampening...way too springy. One hard plop in the back country and some hard braking through a divot and you've got a prop strike. Stinson guy.
Will have to add some custom off road homr made wheel pants (heck Mike Patty could build a carbon fiber wheel pant set in two days) get anther 10mph cruise out of her and land most anywhere.
And have them quick release !!!... wheel pants and back country will never be compatible .. also the more giant the tires the more ridiculously cartoonish the pants look and weigh ...the key word being weigh ... the pants must come off ... If you absolutely need the cross country speed small wheels and pants would work ... but its a cub .. it will never have real speed ... No back country planes wear pants .. if they do they will be circling above while the rest of the crew lands on mountaintops and gravel bars
I think this would be the cub for me. Because personally I don't think I have the nerve to get a licence to fly taildragger. Too much chance of a noseover.
Get rid of the goofy muzac, also watch your mix, have your conversation the same volume setting as your music. I hate getting blaster by squeaky music.
If you land on a rough enough field... no need to lower the nosewheel, it will be folded back for you (prop strike, bent engine mount)! With a tail wheel and tundra tires, the rough field wouldn’t be any problem. They should leave the third wheel under the tail where it is protected, free castering without pulling any pins and much more fun to fly. Tail wheels are an absolute blast to fly when you learn how.

i realize you guys are trying to expand the cub market to the average aviator, but cubs are niche market machines for so inclined aviators, you'll never see one of those doing real off airport type flying in someplace like Alaska
There were general aviation taildraggers converted to a nose wheel. Some did well like the Piper Pacer to Tri-Pacer and Colt. But a Super Cruiser to nose wheel? That's a flavor of it's own bro.
It has the same larger fuel tank as the X cub and has a longer range than the all of the tail dragger variants . 860 Vs 800*. *No idea why, electronic ignition?
For some reason youtube finally put Kevins vids in my feed. I like the vids but the flying cowboys intro is a little much. Its cool and all but only needs to be 1 second long.
A nose-wheel cub? Not for real cub pilots. Not for real bush pilots. Looks a big like a funny funky dream... or nightmare? Hey, what happens when you put 31" or 35" tires on the main wheels? Uh, oh! Hahaha. Nah. Wrong. Just wrong. Nice try. Who wants to take bets? No FlyingCowboy will be buying one of these with his own money. Hahaha. One funny factoid is... tail-wheel airplanes used to look funny to me. Now this nose-wheel looks positively wacko! The gravel/rock bar landing near the end makes the shortcoming clear ... this isn't really a great bush plane. Just fine for backcountry airstrips, but real bush flying? Nah. Still need tail-wheel and bigger tires for that. Definitely.
From what I saw previously, that can easily be done. Nothing wrong with having more options. Gotta LOVE the bottom bruised guys moaning about it though..
Full castering nosewheel! What a concept! ... ... yeah, my Grumman Tiger did that 40 years ago.

It’s actually more prop strike resistant than a taildragger

Na, far less likely then a taildragger. Brilliant safe prop strike free design. Front shock is great reliable never leaks /never goes flat design.

Looks great. I Bet insurance is cheaper than tailwheel too.
Man ... what’s not to love. But I admit I’m kind of partial to the tail dragger. Thanks for sharing this cool ride. Cheers.
They’ll sell you the tailwheel kit, and you can switch configurations

Are those tires of the nose wheel big enough to do the same landings you do with your tail wind cub with big tires ?
At :30 it looked like the pilot forgot that the Cub had a nose wheel until the last second.
Cubs work best tail dragging. This tricycle's front gear post is a bit too short w/that deep spring bounce.
Tested this MSFS and it tipped over with a tight taxi turn. Did you feel this at all in the real thing? Or did the manuf talk about it at all?
Saw a few videos of this being taxied fairly robustly at the test event.
Blasphemy! A Cub with a nosewheel?
That's right.

Maybe a comparison segment is in order to re educate us amutures,
Imagine forgetting that the nose gear is removed and trying to land it as a tricycle .
You'd have to take off without the nose gear for that to happen. Seems unlikely?
It's got a protector bar at the back, so it's likely just your ego and rep at the field would be trashed
I think this would be the cub for me. Because personally I don't think I have the nerve to get a licence to fly taildragger. Too much chance of a noseover.
What would this Cub sale for?

Umm you cannot water ski in that thing unless you wanna scuba dive
Piper made one already. It was called a tri-pacer
Yes and they had one very bad fault,they tip over in strong wind when taxying.
Get rid of the goofy muzac, also watch your mix, have your conversation the same volume setting as your music. I hate getting blaster by squeaky music.
hmm where was this at, looks like SW Idaho but I don't recognize the landmarks
No instrument shots? What lake was that?
what if you had this but also with a tail wheel, you could land with the nose as high as you want then slam the brakes as hard aa you want
Just get a Taylorcraft! LOL
Interesting, would a brake work up front? Maybe put some anti dive valving in the front damper.
The front damper is rubber pucks lol .. no valves ..no damping .. I was thinking a jack screw that lowers the front when landing is over
If you land on a rough enough field... no need to lower the nosewheel, it will be folded back for you (prop strike, bent engine mount)!
