Great! The carbon cub outperforms the super cub, even those equipped with a 160hp engine.

So...Takeoff Ground Roll: 60 ft* REALLY? Only 60 feet???

 

 

 

Harley Davidson will put their logo on ANYTHING!

Apart from not knowing if this Cub will have a VC, we also don't know yet if this one comes with Alaska like the RV-6A did or if it is seperate DLC... But whatever: these are exciting times...

I honestly would not fly Alaska without a good GPS. The terrain blocks VOR signals and there are very few stations.

The Icon has a GPS ... of sorts.... the Carbon cub will have at least that. The alternative is learn how to read topographic maps.

Some YT video of the Carbon Cub SS (I think we will get the SS).

 

 

I dont know about you guys, but im going to fly the SH out of this guy!!!!! *as long as it has a cockpit*

Sorry. I made the Icon. Its only got a moving map. Sorta like a GPS, but 0 functionality. All it does is show your current position. Modern aviation GPS systems will do a lot more, trust me.

LOL That Youtube movie answered my question! Look at 0.15 seconds...! Amazing! Not as fast as I hoped but certainly not too slow, so it seems, and I like that it can land and take off from any place you want to!

Wow, you can almost parallel park that thing.

In a strong head wing, im sure you can land backwards!

I can imagine some spirited "see if you can land where I just landed" multiplayer contests with this Carbon Cub. Land AND take off again. Should be very interesting.

Yeah, land backwards at what, 100 kts? :lol:

Aircraft Porn for the Cub.

 

the carbon cub ss is SUCH a sick plane...

 

there is a company here in Wisconsin that modifies these to a stall speed of only 20kts!!! INSANE. (not sure how, but saw it on TV!! must be true)

Nice video, that thing has some crazy takeoff performance.

 

I do hope we get the nice tinted windows. Carbon Fiber, nice tint... give it some hundred-spoke rims a pearlescent paint job and call it a DUB Cub.

Apart from not knowing if this Cub will have a VC, we also don't know yet if this one comes with Alaska like the RV-6A did or if it is seperate DLC... But whatever: these are exciting times...

I am sure if it is the carbon than it will come with

a cockpit. At Vne of 140kts this is not a plane to race around in from outside view. Rather like the Maule. But while I understand that a cub is just perfect for Alaska I nonetheless wished thy did not offer yet another tail dragger...
