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.[1]
The aircraft follows the same basic design and shape as the Piper Cub.[2] 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.[3]
