Microlighters

Just enquiring how many folks would like to see a dedicated Cubby Renegade build thread here on Microlighters ?
If there is enough interest I will ask the mods to create a thread for us, maybe this can bring back a couple of regular viewers
Jean.

PS: Jean what is the difference between the renegade and the new cubby mkII?

JvTonder, the Renegade is 100mm longer, has a baggage door on the side of the fuselage, entrance door is bigger, front cockpit slightly longer, has a fully adjustable horizontal stab for trim , has taller main gear legs , has slotted flaps.

Yes both are front seat solo flown. Min front seat for the Cubby MK2 is 65kg and for the Renegade it is 55kg , because of the fully adjustable horizontal stabilizer.
Jean.

Thanks Jean, and max?

a New build thread ! wonderful. With photos i hope..

Scorpio yes there will be fotos.
JvTonder the empty weight is 300kg on the Cubby Renegade, and it can pick up 300kg, making 600kg MAU
The Cubby MK2 is 294 kg empty and can pick up 256kg making for 550kg MAU. It is limited in what one can put in the baggage area because of not having the fully adjustable horizontal stabilizer.
Jean.

Guys and girls we have not forgotten about this alleged thread.....it will start happening soon. Fortunately we had quite a good run of repairwork in our workshop to keep us busy.
Jean.

We are finally busy with the Renegade build , notwithstanding the Corona virus restrictions. We do have permits as per the Government Gazette, and with limited staff
We will continue the thread in "Members Projects" and put photos on as we progress.
Jean.

For those that do go on FB , we post there under Cubby Aircraft Factory. We will start next week with the assembly/building of the first Cubby Renegade.
Jean

We have an order for a Cubby Maverick (previously dubbed MK2). We are in the final stages of welding the airframe together. This frame will be brought up to the same phase as the Renegade frame, which is ready for assembly, then we will be building the Renegade and the Maverick simultaneously and will post photos as we progress.
Jean

We have added some photos to our build thread.It can be viewed under " Members Projects".
