They have a long history of innovation and industry leadership, relentless research and development, and an impeccable reputation for the quality of their aircraft. These attributes made us very confident in choosing them as our partner for this event.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u201cThroughout the years, CubCrafters\u2019 brand has grown to be synonymous with an adventure lifestyle, and giving pilots the ability to land our airplanes in the most challenging environments is core to our mission,\u201d said Brad Damm, CubCrafters\u2019 Vice President. \u201cThis project, two years in the planning and execution, really pushes the limits of what a best-of-class STOL aircraft, and an extremely capable and dedicated pilot, can achieve.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Renowned bush pilot, aviation engineer, and YouTube personality, Mike Patey, also joined the CubCrafters technical team for the project. Mike, a Carbon Cub owner himself, customized some of the aircraft&#8217;s features to help ensure a successful outcome. &#8220;It was a pretty simple formula. We cut weight, changed the C.G. to increase the effectiveness of the brakes, and added extra horsepower,\u201d said Mike. &#8220;I&#8217;m really proud of how the airplane performed. The Carbon Cub was a great choice to start with, and we made it even better for this event.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u201cWorking with CubCrafters and Mike Patey to prepare the airplane for this event has been a true pleasure,\u201d declared pilot Luke Czepiela. \u201cDuring the training and preparation, I developed full confidence in the aircraft and its unique capabilities that enabled me to successfully accomplish this mission.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Full details about the project, the aircraft, and the team that pulled it off can be found at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cubcrafters.com\/redbull\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>https:\/\/cubcrafters.com\/redbull<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Carbon Cub Bullseye in Dubai!\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/480HYUGwF4I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>ABOUT CUBCRAFTERS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Founded in 1980 by Jim Richmond, CubCrafters\u2019 roots are in the 80+ year history of classic grassroots aviation, but the company\u2019s products and services are innovative and completely modern.
