CubCrafters CC11 100 Sport Cub S2

Design and development

Cub Crafters started business as a heavy maintenance and overhaul shop for classic Piper aircraft. In 1998, Cub Crafters started production of all-new aircraft leading to the Sport Cub built to meet the FAA's Light Sport requirements.

The aircraft follows the same basic design and shape as the Piper Cub. Notable exceptions are a 100 hp (75 kW) fully cowled Teledyne Continental engine, an electrical system and a modified USA 35b airfoil from the SuperCub.

Operational history

In 2007, Scott Carson, CEO of Boeing, purchased an S2 for his own personal use.
