Product updates unveiled by CubCrafters

By Janice Wood · January 12, 2011 ·

The New Year will see CubCrafters making a number of updates to its production aircraft.

CubCrafters General Manager Randy Lervold comments: “We’re constantly on the lookout for ways to improve our aircraft. We pursue these improvements through in-house design initiatives, and also with off-the-shelf technical advancements, such as more advanced navigation systems. The changes for 2011 are incremental, but important – refinements to what are already superb aircraft. Another positive is that we were able to incorporate most of these improvements with no increase in pricing for 2011.”
