Extended footage of flying the new 4 Place Cub built by Kirk Ellis in collaboration with Airframes Alaska. To learn more about our 4 Place Fuselage click here bit.ly/3dgAccB
Pretty aggressive incidence on the wing from the look of it, that would explain the great forward visibility on landing (as well as those epic flaps). It would also help explain the slow cruise speed. Are the tanks showing about half full in the sight gauge, and I wonder how much gas it carries?
Ya know.....Just one time.....I would like to see those expensive! high drag!!! Airstreaks actually being needed. The old fish haulers with a 210 could have landed and taken off 20% (or more) over gross from there. What tires did the Army use on their light aircraft in WWII Korea Vietnam? Great plane though! Love to have one!
Right? My dad flew in Alaska from the early 70's to the mid 2000's and swore by his Wag-Aero 29" tires. He never would move up to the "balloon tires" all the other cub guys started getting in the late 90's.
Not sure, but from what I've seen this thing's fuselage is wider than the 39" or so of a PA-14. At least that's what the Wag Aero 2+2 fuselage is, per their plans. It might be possible to widen their fuselage 1-2" though, both top and bottom (to be able to use stock lift struts), and get the 2+2 to where this thing looks to be. I haven't found a figure for the actual width of this thing's fuselage yet--although I'm sure it's out there.
Kirk, what a beautiful machine for flying hunters to a remote location. You make flying look so easy. Robert McNichols.
The alaskan airframes 4 place is superb
Oh, the "after christmas" cup!
Interesting acft , I like the possibilities. Not a lot of bush flying around here. But ya never know I like low n slow .
Looks nice in the cockpit

I want one.👍😊
Omg I love that plane!!!!! About what price Range is a plane like that?! If you can’t. Say I understand but very Interested
Very nice
How does this handle compared to a ‘just super stol’ ? And real world comparisons?
Ok I read what you told Greg so got it!:-) very nice!!! What engine is with that hp??
Build 4 super pacer / producers for the same price??? 🤔
Can you put these on floats?

I wonder what size of floats could go on that bad boy?
How well would this do as a float plane?
Is it possible to get a certified model built with sq-12 wings? I like the idea of slats
Check out Dakota cub
👏👏👏👏👏
What is the cost to buy a plane like this? I know you can find 2 seat carbon cubs for $35,000 but can’t find Information on a 4 seater
I think you're missing a 0 in that number
Man what I’d give for a 35k carbon cub 🤦
@@shaneboulds5240 look them up. A used (non certified) cub can be easily less than $35K
@@kurtkeltner3868 you can. Look them up. A non certified (experimental) cub can easily be bought for $35K
what are the speeds you are getting in this bird ?
What’s the price for this plane?
Hello Greg it is currently listed for $250,000.
So it is a PA-14 Family Cruiser.

I can't see how you can morph it into a 4 seater with a huge cargo area and still think you have a "Cub"!!!!!
That doesn't work for me.
Ummm -why? A C-182 would be more comfortable for passengers
You’re not putting a trike down where this guy can go
