Cubcrafters ( http://www.cubcrafters.com/news/17-cubcrafters-announces-carbon-cub-demo-days ) is making the rounds doing demo flights of their Carbon Cub SS, so I flew up to Lake Texoma Saturday to check 'em out. Full disclosure: Not a Beech. But wow, the fun factor is off the charts! This thing will take off in about 30 feet, and the stall speed is so slow we had it going 0 ground speed into a 25k head wind. I don't want to give up my Beech, but I sure would like one of these things, I could keep it right here at the house! Check 'em out!
