Light aircraft designer and manufacturer CubCrafters achieved a milestone by delivering its 300th CC11 aircraft in January of 2014. CubCrafters’ CC11 family includes the popular Carbon Cub SS and Sport Cub S2 LSA models. Serial Number 300 is a handsome Carbon Cub SS in Volcano Red bound for Idaho.
CubCrafters delivered their first CC11 aircraft, Sport Cub Serial Number 00001, in 2005. In March of 2012, shortly after the introduction of the Carbon Cub SS, the company shipped their 200th CC11 model. 23 months later the company has passed the #300 waypost.
CubCrafters’ continued sales growth has stretched the company’s manufacturing facilities to the limit. Until now, all manufacturing and assembly has taken place in the company’s three buildings totaling 40,000 square feet. “Across the past four years we’ve done a great job of refining our processes,” comments Jim Richmond, Founder/CEO of CubCrafters. “However, we’ve reached a point where our limited space will impede efficiency.” Accordingly, the company has purchased a 23-acre parcel adjacent to McAllister Airport in Yakima and broken ground on a new Composites Fabrication Shop. “The expansion will allow us to devote more space to Composites, Parts and Kits, thereby affording an overall increase in production. Looking forward, the new property will accommodate additional construction as our needs grow.”
New orders for CubCrafters’ finished aircraft and kits continue at a record pace. As of this date, the next delivery position for a ready-to-fly airplane is in late August and new buyers of the Carbon Cub EX Kit can expect shipment in May.
