CubCrafters Carbon Cub SS.

CubCrafters is on track to deliver its 200^th Light Sport Aircraft in February. The company offers two models of LSA, the 100-horsepower Sport Cub S2 and the 180-hp Carbon Cub SS, which has won virtually every STOL competition in which it was entered, the company says.

“We are spending as much time developing our fleet infrastructure as we are working on product development,” says General Manager Randy Lervold. “Both are high priorities here at CubCrafters.”

In December the company added 15,000 square feet of manufacturing space and a dedicated R&D shop to its Yakima, Washington, headquarters. This also created several job opportunites, which are posted on the company’s web site.

A CubCrafters Carbon Cub SS, piloted by Paul Claus, took first place in the STOL competition at the May Day Fly-In & Air Show in Valdez, Alaska, May 7-9. Claus flew N155PC in the Alternative Bush Class (Experimental) category and won with a score of 133 feet. Each competing pilot performs two sets of takeoffs and landings. The shortest sets are added together and recorded as the pilot’s score. CubCrafters airplanes have finished in first place three times in the last four years, the company says (no CubCrafters planes competed in 2009).
