Again a confirmation that they're closely monitoring the different user channels haha

Seems like a rather light update compared to the previous ones. It was already known that Tech Alpha 2 recruiting ends next week, and there weren't any new screenshots or videos from the simulator. However they are probably busy rolling out Tech Alpha 1 as we speak, and next week's update should have plenty of content.

Media update: A photo of real airplanes.

Well, I expected other kind of media

Just a little hint about the Partner Series? Carbon Cub also from CubCrafters, maybe another GA company different than CubCrafters? Inquiring minds want to know

Interesting, tundra tires.  Go Alaska!

Good guess! So if it's partnership, and we already know CubCrafters is on the partnership list. Who could they add similar to them?  Can we solve this partnership puzzle? Suppose to be an update next week on the partnerships.

Did you miss the "CubCrafters" sign on the back wall?

Definitely a small update, but it would be unreasonable to expect a major announcement every single week...

No I didn't, but they have already been announced. It said a hint about the partnership series update, which to me means telling us about different partners they have not told us about. Unless I am reading into it wrong?

[ckyliu 1,749]

They can provide more information about a partner they already announced, that counts as an update. I fully expect that's what it will be, more info about the CubCrafters tie-up.

Maybe we can spec our own cubs

I would dearly love to have a Carbon Cub on floats where I live. Water everywhere to land and takeoff from.

So that must have been the last of the discovery series?

I enjoyed them, wish they did more

[Mengy 814]

Huh, when the roadmap stated today would have a media update I honestly expected some more screenshots or videos to be released.  Guess I misunderstood what the term "media update" means?

Cool picture of some Carbon Cubs though.
