#CarbonCub #Backcountry #NXCub
The Cub community is about to discover what we in the Zenith community have known for a long time. We fly nose wheel aircraft which regularly outperform tail wheel aircraft on both takeoff and landing. That said, I still fly a Maule occasionally, because I'll always like a tail wheel.
Wish I had an extra $330,000 laying around. I would Keep My zenith 750. And get one of these.
If, I'm gonna wish for something, I'm gonna wish *big*. I want to be Mike Patey...lol.
Gary B Wood I’m sure Cubcrafters wishes you did too.....
It all comes down to the pilot, I've seen 170's takeoff and land shorter than cubs and I've seen cubs take off and land longer than 172's. A good pilot in a good airplane can outperform a mediocre pilot in the best airplane. For people saying nosewheels will outperform tailwheels because of their natural AoA I have two things to say. 1: You're wrong, and 2: tail-up-taxi.
@@davidwright5782 you would be confused then
Tail wheel purists: THAT'S NOT A CUB
Cubcrafters: WE LITERALLY MADE THIS PLANE
One gets tired of Ford vs Chevy preferences. Josh, you are giving aviation a great gift with the quality of your production. From an old Texan, keep helping us find a way to show the importance and gifts of GA.
It's a different type of CUB. Still a CUB. Nice to be able to choose options. Now, show me a 3-bladed version.
When Josh pulls the mixture handle off.
"You broke my airplane!"
xD
Air intakes look like a smily face. Cant unsee!
If this is unsettling to you stay home.
As ALWAYS another GREAT video.
Cooool, plane ... AGREED, most likely a market for it.
Thanks for sharing your flying adventures.
ALWAYS educational and entertaining.
Two thumbs up.👍👍
Some say it's a Cub with Training wheels; some say it's the answer to a question that nobody asked.
Me?
It's an answer to my prayers. To heck with the naysayers...it's half a TriPacer. It's a gift. Let's face it, in most entry level GA Aircraft you're not going to get full fuel, full baggage and full seats - any more than two. This bird you can. I'm presuming the Useful Load is similar to the XCub, maybe 60 or so pounds less. Not bad.
I lust after this plane, and now I need to take a cold shower.
Now if they would sell it or under $300,000, they'd have a deal.
Whole new meaning to “pulling the mixture” haha
He said "all the way"
“You broke my airplane!”🤣
CubCrafters is the manufacturer; its an XCub with a nose wheel. Who knows, maybe the Carbon Cub someday? CubCrafters make both the Carbon Cub (SS, EX, and FX) and the XCub. Awesome video man. Thanks for sharing.
As a 180 guy this Cub will bring a much needed safety factor into the flying community, most pilots today are not trained in tail wheel planes, I was due to my father owning a 180, most are piper and Cessna tricycle gear, so id assume there would be some training time in the cub but not the added time of training for a tailwheel indorsement.personally I LOVE IT
And try finding a Tailwheel instructor in many areas these days. Good luck
Im a bush pilot in NZ, i feel like the new NX-cup will be amazing. i can get people into bush flying that might not want to go though the hassle of getting a tail wheel rating.
"It's not a Cub"..lol.. If the Cub manufacturer says it's a Cub, it's a Cub.
They sure can call it a Cub if they want. They can call it a Concord. They can call it a Blackbird. But it's none of those. It's a Cubcrafters Tri Pacer.
Michael Lewis bitch it’s happening. Stfu.
@@usafmd1 Mike, get over yourself. The number you need to remember is 85%. That is a huge market share to be tapped. It's a cub son.
I believe the whole nose gear / tail gear issue came about due to how well each can do as back country aircraft. My understanding is the main gear position and the ability to absorb the loads of unimproved airports favored the tail wheel. The other issue is approach speeds, maneuverability, stopping and takeoff roll. If a nose wheel aircraft can meet all those criteria, then why not.
Awesome video Josh! Thanks for sharing.
If it has wings, I'll fly it. An airplane is fun no matter where the single wheel happens to be attached.
Great video! Thanks for coming out to Camp CubCrafters!
Such a happy little plane! Always smiling.
As a non-pilot aviation enthusiast I see nothing wrong with the nose wheel.
Although if they marketed it as a "Carbon Tri-Pacer deluxe" it may distract some of the moaning.
It certainly looks like the happiest little aeroplane around.
My first plane was a 150hp tri-pacer it could take off on a nickel and land on a dime they were called Flying milk stools
Looks like an amazingly esy plane to fly. Great video Josh.
Now that looked fuuuuun! Great Vid Guys!
Learned on a tail wheel in the 60's, flew C-130's for a career, still love tailwheels but can see the advantage of the tri gear...easier to teach family to fly, and much lighter on the insurance..love to see it with the tri bladed prop..I doubt there would be many places you could put a tail wheel that you could not put this aircraft...seems like a win win to me.
Okay, I'm definitely interested in a nose wheel X-Cub! I'm with you Josh and don't like mashing the brakes. I would use that feature as a last resort for a short approach. Lol
Awesome flight??? Awesome vid!!! Doing great J!!! 👍👍👍
215HP?? Wow!
Fantastic video, the plane looks insane cool 😎
Looks like the additional power and beefed up nose gear is really the difference !!! My family had a Piper Cub and Piper Colt before C182!!!
Actually, what I never liked about the Piper Cubs is precisely the tail wheel, I fear the tail spin after lending and also perhaps applying too much brakes on landing and end up flipping the plane over, well, with this "nose wheel" design both problems are solved of one shot. All I need now is win the lottery in order to buy one.😂👍
It will be interesting to see this develop. Reminds me a lot of a tripacer. They don't get a lot of love despite having really great performance and affordability. I've always attributed that to the looks.
Very calming videos 👍
4:15 When your aircraft brakes in the middle of a demonstration 😂
I thought the brakes were when landing?
X-Cub Awaersome the "Smiley Face cowling" looks great
Hopefully avable on FSX very soon
Bob Herron screw fsx. If you’re not on P3D or X-plane you are behind the times.
you inspire me so much, i love aviation now. i want to fly this, because its smaller then a Cessna 172. its also smaller then a 152.
More expensive than both
Fun video - fun plane. I’m not a pilot yet, but I’d be very happy to own either config. I’ll start my training as soon as I win one. ;-P According to the pilots I follow who own the tail-wheel version, Cub Crafters make great planes, and I’m sure this version will be awesome like the rest. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Gotta love any little bird that can out-smile a 747, especially when the little fella smiles like that ALL the time! 😁
That mixture knob trick and a “you break it, you buy it” clause are a salesman’s best friend ... or so I’ve heard. OTOH, after overhearing someone ask who turned a nut loose in the cockpit, it must be reassuring to realize they are referring to the red knob that just fell off the mixture control.
One of your best videos.
looks like a fun plane .. the 215hp make a big power improvement . nice panel etc too ..
Your videos have always been great, but damn you are on fire lately. We are struggling to get to your level! Also, I’m ordering a damn tricycle cub!
This is a very interesting airplane. When I was flying my Piper Tri-Pacer back around 1970, we had the Piper Cub and the Piper Super Cub on the airfield with me. I did my early training in a tail dragger, the Fleet Canuck. I then moved to the Tri-Pacer. I like both the nose wheel and the tail wheel. The biggest problem I had with the tail wheel aircraft was being able to see where I was going. The Carbon Cub and the XCub have sure taken this style of airplane to a whole new level.
Game changer for bush planes? Maybe it is. Time will tell. From my perspective, I like it! Cheers from Winnipeg.
awesome plane and video!
WOW! That looks like a lot of fun!
Amazing work without any doubt !!
But i noticed that in this video and the previous one there is so much background noise from the Mics !!
not usual in your previous videos !
Wonderful concept!
Hardcore Tailwheel pilot here - and while I would never own one I respect the company's choice to produce it. It's a savvy business decision that I hope works well for them. Sadly so many pilots have an irreversible FEAR of a tailwheel and will never fly one. Providing an option for those folks (or even for folks who just prefer nosedraggers) is a good thing from a business perspective. Increasing the pool of prospective buyers is never a bad move for any company. Good on 'ya CubCrafters!! Keep up the good work.
How many tail daggers vs nose wheel aircraft have ground looped and destroyed an airplane?
@@ohwell2790 You'd be surprised. It is not impossible to ground loop a nose wheel aircraft and many people over the years have a way to do it.
I have flown both tail wheel and nose wheel aircraft and see advantages to both. Go for it guys, I think you will do well with the nose wheel version.
Love it. This is going to cause so much drama because the wheel up front and hairy legs. lol
Love a mid week video 👍
I was truly appalled for about... 30 seconds.. but this actually looks pretty fun!! lol
Hey I'm a bush pilot in NZ, i feel like the new NX-cup will be amazing. i can get people into bush flying that might not want to go though the hassle of getting a tail wheel rating.
Looks like a cool plane!
Looks great!
Wow, a good upgrade. By moving the main landing gear backward, you'll get less weight on the structure. Using a heavier engine (which usually higher performance) might be necessary and the additional structure on the nose gear will move the CG forward to solve the problem caused by the main landing gear modification. Win-win solution.
Love the video
Wet nice looking little airplane and how much power it has blow’s my mind wow I’d love to fly one
Neat Bird. Congrats
Love the Trike
loving this plane even on microsoft flight simulator 2020!If I were to get into actual flying again and bush flying this would be the plane!
Awesomely cool airplane.
I love it!!!!! If ever I have the financial ability to pull that trigger!!!!
I like it. I have a few hours of tail wheel time so I would probably go that route but I'm a fan of aircraft and aviation so either works for me
Cool video well...... all of them are cool.
Friends don't let friends nose wheel... just kidding, I think it's a great idea and will bring more pilots into the cub family. Nice work Josh
They need to make a side by side.
You need to go to the air show at lancaster airport on august 24th and 25 please😊🤗😎
"I have never flown a carbon cub in general" - "I am not a tail wheel pilot" : CubCrafters has decided via the NX-Cub to take the mountain to Mohamed rather than wait for Mohamed to come and visit. In one fell swoop they have made everyone a cub pilot and such that the aircraft comes with a configurable landing option means that both pilot progression and resale market potential is kept high. Leasing companies will love this plane coz high residuals equals a lesser monthly payment.
Not a pilot but is sure looks like a lot of fun. I like it. Thanks
Please do more full length flights. Also thanks to you I want to learn to fly%?
Cool. It looks similar to the TriPacer but on steroids. I like it.
Thats a very happy plane
The first plane to crack Josh's intensity - who thought brakes would produce such a smile?
I’ve never flown a conventional gear only nose wheels but zenith sells a lot of back country nose gear kits and the Glassair Sportsman is convertible so there must be a market for a nose wheel back country plane.. cheaper insurance too I’ve heard.
That's a happy lookin' plane.
Forget debating. They key factor is Cubcrafters thriving. That benefits everyone.
Added a bigger engine and nose wheel weight up front. How did it balance? Move the seats back? Battery in the tail? Not a lot of prop clearance when braking but I hear Hartzell is making a 3 blade for it.
Awesome 😎
it's still is a cub to me no dough , and i can see the benefit for so meany application including training.
I like the Cub's smiley faces, TBH.... :-)
Thats a soo cute piper cub 😍😍
As much as I like conventional gear airplanes, I definitely see a market for this airplane. And that's what it is all about for the manufacturer, build kits and sell, sell, sell. I personally think it's a cool little idea, hell look at how many tricycle gear airplanes you see inout in the back country now, a rancher I used work for we got rid of our Aviat Husky and bought a 182.
My dream plane right there 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
NX Cub is just awesome 👍👍👍👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
what a cool plane
I've got to have one now!!
I no longer fly. But, as to the argument "tail dragger v. nose gear", i would be delighted to buy a nose gear cub. Taildraggers have their place, certainly, and their cool factor is awesome. But, the advantages of nose gear are obvious. That said, I also feel the nose gear Cub is a little bit awkward looking. It's the slope of the top of the fuse or perhaps the length of the tail moment- I don't really know. But, it does look "tail saggy" on TO. Perhaps it was simply the aggressive handling for this video that caused that appearance. I do like the extra power available...but, then power is the end-all-be-all of flying, isn't it? You always appreciate extra power. Anyway, excellent video and an outstandingly nice job on the Cub.
My dream plane!
Amazing
It looks so... happy. :-)
Love that plane! Now if I could just get the throttle, prop, and mixture controls on the right (I'm left-handed) it would be perfect. :-)
Okay - I fly both tailwheel and tricycle gear aircraft regularly, and they both have their pros and cons. In truth, I think that the original conventional gear (tailwheel) cub looks so much better than the tri-cycle version which is why I wouldn't consider one myself. I also like the challenge of flying a tailwheel aircraft which adds another huge part of the fun factor for me!
Great Idea Guys I hope you come out with one of these and then I'll dust off my Pilots License. I'll have to get a Kit though as I cant afford the 300K production model. Also I hope you offer other engine types like the Rotax 915S. Love the concept though... makes you wonder why no one thought of it before.
I saw Marisa standing there in the background. Did she get any time in the X-Cub? How about Dad?? What did they think of it? Gotta love a good-ole boy from Austin! Hook 'Em!!!
I love that plane
4:00 in and you broke his airplane :-D
you're time stamp is 24 seconds off wow
That's a sweet bush plane as long as you don't have to land in the back country lol.
thank you for the 1975 standard audio... we appreciate your service.
What kind of cruise performance were you getting?
If I had a PPL i would definitely fly the survey. That thing zips along and gets up quick. I kinda lean more toward tricycle gear aircraft any way, unless its a P51 or any other WW II fighter.
more ww2 fighters would hav been tricycle'd', ie the p39, had the Ercoupe been around sooner... it was (the ercoupe) that helped change all military aircraft to the tri configuration...to this day.
All "Aces" in my book!!
Fly what you like. Firget the BS and egos! Nice video and take care.
