The prop is a 1A2009032 (very heavy 43#, but produces a tremendous amount of low speed thrust). The engine has a single mag and a single light speed ignition. We have used these props a lot on conical mount 0-360 without any trouble or excess vibration. The light speed ignition really makes it run smooth.

Yes. Lots of thrust for take-off but probably a little slow in cruise.

That sounds pretty efficient to me Doug.

What RPM is it making static? ...........and at T.O. rotation?
How would a long-ish 2-blade constant speed do on it?
Thanks for your candid answers Doug!

Dave,
Its hard to tell what the static RPM is. I can't hold it very well with the brakes, I need to get some guys to hold the tail down. I think the static RPM is around 2500 RPM. I have a mechanical tach and have not tested it for accuracy yet. Rotation happens so fast that I am too preoccupied to check out the tach, I will make a point to do so next time I fly it. At steep climb out it turns 2700 RPM. I only have 60 hours on the thing and still getting used to it. I can say that I am always behind it on takeoff. The takeoff happens so fast that its hard to figure out the best technique, its always ready to fly before I am.

Carbon Cub
Hi Case,
Great looking airplane. I stopped by and met with Jim Richerdson at CubCrafters. He is going to bring a few of his planes to our Flyin that we have every year at Cascade airpark 3 miles east of Harvey Field.
We are hoping that you bring the Carbon Cub, that would be a great addition to alot of nice cubs that will show up.
NorthWest SuperCub Flyin will be June 30th - July 1.st we will post all the events next week on SuperCub.org.

marcGive Cub Crafters a call, they might be able to give you a price if they decide to produce experimental kits, LSA or certified Carbon Cubs.
As far as my Carbon Cub, I guess everything is for sale for a price. What would be a fair price for Carbon Cub? I have heard people throw around the $250k number, at that price I might sell. Make me an offer I can't refuse.

Tim,
I own the Carbon Cub (N9696C), I am listed as the builder. Cub Crafters supplied a lot of the parts.
You will need to talk to Cub Crafters about the possibility of additional Carbon Cubs in the future. I honestly don't know what their marketing plans are for it if any.
