I was wondering if anyone else shares this same kind of opinion, or knows if any of the problems this pilot brought up has been addressed in later model airplanes? The leaking water sounds bad but I don't know the details. Everything else I've ever read about cubcrafters airplanes has been mostly positive, with the caveat that they are expensive and might sacrifice a bit of durability for weight (and the problems with some of the undersized carbs). I know there are CC people on here; not trying to offend.

Rounding out last place...
#4 Cubcrafters planes.
These planes can do one thing well and one thing only and that is land short. They are very, very good at this, perhaps the best at this on the list. Everything else about them is horrific. The control harmony is perhaps the worst of any plane I have ever flown. Above 80mph the ailerons are essentially completely locked up, it takes herculean effort in order manipulate your roll axis. The back seat is a sling seat which is convenient for storage but atrocious to sit in. It sways and rocks in turbulence which will make even the most seasoned of pilot nauseous. It's certainly one of the louder planes I've ever flown in, the plane is so poorly engineered that the fairing between the boot cowl and windshield is SO massive because they couldnt get them to even come close to meeting. I took the plane camping, and it leaked... BAD. There was water all over the seats and carpet. The control stick was uncomfortable and is only equipped with perhaps the worlds touchiest electric trim system. They made the cockpit 4" wider than supercubs which sounds great in theory, except now your sightline to the ground is that much further away and it reduced your visibility as a result, it feels far more like you're sitting lower and far away from the windows, when it's just been widened.
They have an excellent marketing team, but horrible planes.
