Aces High Cuby

[1] The Cuby II features a 38 in (97 cm) wide cabin and a large baggage compartment behind the side-by-side seats.

In North America the Cuby II was sold for US$15,662.76, complete with propeller, 50 hp (37 kW) Rotax 503 powerplant, paint and fabric in 1988.

[2][3] Reviewer Ken Armstrong, flying the Cuby II prototype with the 42 hp (31 kW) single carburetor version of the Rotax 503 said: Takeoff was accomplished in 300 feet at an indicated airspeed of 30 mph.

I'm pleased to mention that the delightfully balanced rudder was smooth and linear in response—the best I've felt in an ultralight or homebuilt.

Touch and goes in the Cuby were so much fun that several abbreviated pattern circuits ensued, with a half dozen landings accomplished in ten minutes.
