A Super Cub for the 21 st Century

摘要

CubCrafters has been in the business of everything Super Cub for more than 30 years. Started by Jim Richmond, the company recognized the performance potential in the Piper Super Cub. Over the years the company has manufactured parts and modifications as well as rebuilt many a Super Cub, the trusted and beloved workhorse of bush pilots. By the late 1980s, CubCrafters found the Super Cubs they were rebuilding had such a great number of new, FAA Approved parts that based on the FAA rules, they could actually issue their "rebuilt" Cubs a new airworthiness certificate. And so it began, from 1988 through 2004, CubCrafters sold many new PA-18-150s. Unfortunately, as the 1990s were coming to a close, it became apparent that the same PAA rules that allowed these airplanes to be sold as new, were likely going to change.
