Non-aviators consider my aviation interest as a \u201chobby\u201d, and that\u2019s the source of my discomfort. It\u2019s not their fault, they\u2019re not aviators and therefore just don\u2019t understand. But, if you\u2019re reading this blog, you\u2019re very likely a pilot or an aviation enthusiast yourself, and likely know that aviation is much more than a \u201chobby\u201d to most of us. Rather, it is a lifestyle, a passion, and the word hobby seems inadequate. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The intent of this blog is to give the true aviation enthusiasts among readers a deeper look into our world here at CubCrafters, because we think you might find it just as interesting as we do. Our world includes designing, building, and flying our range of aircraft. I expect dealers and staff will blog about a wide range of subjects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Non-aviation folks will likely have little interest in this blog, but we think you might, and so we\u2019ll give it a try. If you like our posts please give us some feedback, and if you don\u2019t, please give us that feedback too! Either way, welcome, and I hope you find this corner of our web site interesting!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Randy Lervold,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">President<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Welcome to the\u00a0Inside CC Blog!
