Yakima, Washington – July 11, 2018: CubCrafters will display the newest Carbon Cub variants in the
company’s exhibit at AirVenture starting July 23. Both the EX-3 and FX-3 models spotlight CubCrafters’
new fuel-injected engine, the addition of a constant-speed propeller, and a higher 2,000 lb. gross weight
limit. The Carbon Cub EX-3 is an experimental amateur built (E-AB) kit, and the Carbon Cub FX-3 is the
company’s FX (Factory eXperimental) builder assist version.
“The introduction of the 3 rd generation of the Carbon Cubs has been an important milestone in the
growth of CubCrafters’ product line”, says Pat Horgan, President of CubCrafters. “Together with our
flagship certified XCub, these new Carbon Cub models have contributed to the best sales in CubCrafters’
history.”
Brad Damm, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, collaborated with Horgan to define the product
specification for the new EX-3/FX-3 models. “We listened closely to feedback from experienced flyers in
our customer base,” said Damm. “They wanted more speed and payload without sacrificing short-field
performance. Pat and I envisioned an improved Carbon Cub airframe with a new lightweight fuel
injected engine, driving a high performance composite constant-speed prop. The PIREPs from those
same flyers are gratifying; they absolutely love this new airplane.”
The newest additions to CubCrafters’ product family appeal to an ever-widening group of aircraft buyers
by offering higher performance, greater comfort, and superior construction over previous generations of
taildraggers. “The newest CubCrafters aircraft have made adventure flying more appealing than ever
and, as a result, our market is growing”, says Damm.
“As the size of our fleet increases, so does our commitment to support our owner community,” adds
Horgan. “Our investments in factory infrastructure and customer service are bearing fruit. We’ve
already executed plans to increase production to cover increased demand for our aircraft. Buyers can
expect an ever-higher level of service after they take delivery.”
