New Systems from\u00a0BRS<\/span>\u00a0Aerospace Available
\nfor Company\u2019s\u00a0LSA<\/span>, Kit, and Builder Assist Aircraft<\/h3>\n

Yakima, Washington \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Light aircraft manufacturer CubCrafters is announcing new emergency parachute systems for the company\u2019s line of backcountry tailwheel airplanes. The systems, developed in conjunction with\u00a0BRS<\/span>\u00a0Aerospace, will further advance safety in CubCrafters\u2019 already exceptional aircraft designs by allowing pilots a safe alternative in otherwise difficult emergencies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Carbon Cub is already recognized as the safest backcountry aircraft available,\u201d comments Randy Lervold, President of CubCrafters. \u201cIts extraordinarily slow stall speed, fundamentally sound wing shape and vortex generators assure low-speed stability and maneuverability. The Carbon Cub\u2019s super-strong protective cage around its occupants is best in class. Now, the addition of the\u00a0BRS<\/span>\u00a0systems not only provides a proven life-saving technology, but also additional piece of mind for Carbon Cub pilots and passengers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The\u00a0BRS<\/span>\u00a0parachute systems are offered on CubCrafters\u2019 production Carbon Cub SS aircraft, as well as the company\u2019s Carbon Cub FX Builder Assist model and their EX-2 kit. Systems are also available for retrofit on CubCrafters\u2019 existing fleet of\u00a0LSA<\/span>\u00a0and experimental aircraft. Three new\u00a0BRS<\/span>\u00a0models are immediately available for these CubCrafters airplanes:<\/p>\n

\u2022 New production\u00a0LSA<\/span>\u00a0aircraft, including the Carbon Cub SS, for gross weight up to 1,320 lbs. (1,430 lbs. on floats). For this configuration, the\u00a0BRS<\/span>\u00a0system weighs 34.3 lbs. and is priced at $13,990 installed.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Retrofit on the existing fleet of\u00a0LSA<\/span>\u00a0Carbon Cub and Sport Cub models, for gross weight up to 1,320 lbs. (1,430 lbs. on floats). This version weighs 41.4 lbs. and is priced at $15,990 installed.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Carbon Cub EX-2 and FX experimental aircraft for gross weight up to 1,865 lbs. This configuration weighs 43.5 lbs. and is priced at $11,990 as a kit, or $15,990 installed.<\/p>\n

The new\u00a0BRS<\/span>\u00a0systems require annual inspection, a parachute repack every 6 years, and a rocket refresh every 12 years. These services, as well as installation of retrofit systems on fleet aircraft, can be performed now at CubCrafters\u2019 Yakima, Washington facility and at select CubCrafters Authorized Service Centers in the near future.<\/p>\n

The new\u00a0BRS<\/span>\u00a0system is the latest illustration of CubCrafters\u2019 ongoing dedication to producing the safest aircraft possible. “As a light aircraft manufacturer, we feel it is incumbent on CubCrafters to offer proven mechanisms that contribute to product safety,\u201d says Lervold. \u201cThe new\u00a0BRS<\/span>\u00a0system is just another example of that commitment. It takes our already robust, reliable airplane design and makes it even safer.\u201d Boris Popov, Founder and\u00a0SVP<\/span>\u00a0at\u00a0BRS<\/span>\u00a0adds, \u201cBeing in our 34th year of business, we have been, and continue to be involved with a wide spectrum of innovative aircraft designs. There is no doubt that the Carbon Cub design, as successful as it is, will be even more so with the inclusion of the safety-enhancing\u00a0BRS<\/span>\u00a0recovery parachute system\u201d<\/p>\n

The first CubCrafters\u00a0BRS<\/span>\u00a0system has already been installed and delivered on a new Carbon Cub SS.<\/p>\n
