Was the 3rd place Bush class winner the NX Cub?
Curious why you were underwhelmed? Looked like it did pretty well for a 1500 lb heavy Cub with a short prop.the NX CUB was rather underwhelming after hearing all the pre event hype
Didn’t seem like much of a turn out this year? Also seems like some long distances for the temps and lack of DA

Because we all thought that the trauma to our eyeballs would at least be compensated somewhat by some impressive landing distances...Curious why you were underwhelmed? Looked like it did pretty well for a 1500 lb heavy Cub with a short prop.

Congratulations again Cache! Did you put Pstols on your cub?
Thanks yes I did put the P-STOL flaps on back in March and I really like them they have slowed my approach down by about 5mph. The stall is the only draw back I have found
My plane used to stall on the airspeed indicator around 28-30mph now it is down around 22-23 the problem is it drops the left wing and it’s pretty violent when it does I have messed around with rigging and the only thing I have come up with at this point is the p-factor. If I give it a little right rudder just before the stall it will stall wings level forward like it used to before the flaps. Anyone have any thoughts on this? I talked to Jamie over at blue river and he said he has two cubs with P-STOL flaps one drops a wing and one does not.
As for the NX cub it appears that in his first scored landing he landed just a few feet past the line and locked the tires which I think that landing was around 120’ the only way to shorten that up is a slower approach but I’m not sure if it will slow down any more. I think if he would have kept the nose down longer for his takeoffs it would have gotten off a lot shorter, maybe it needs bigger flaps? All I can say is I still like conventional gear! [emoji41]

One of the experimental NX Cubs I maintain is 1378 lbs EW. The dealer I work with told me he thought the airplane Brad was flying is about 1475, it is the Part 23 certified version. Flying them you can tell they are heavier than the Cub I fly weekly or the FX3 I fly from time to time.Steve where are you getting the 1500lb weight?

That NX cub sure had violent nose wheel shimmy under max braking
