The airframe parachute systems are available for select CubCrafters LSA, Kit, and Builder Assist Aircraft.
Back in May 2016, CubCrafters introduced airframe parachute systems into new production models of their Carbon Cubs. Now, they’re announcing that retrofit airframe parachute systems, developed in partnership with BRS aerospace, are available for select CubCrafters aircraft, including the Carbon Cub and Sport Cub. The retrofit parachutes can be installed at CubCrafters, or at select Authorized Service Centers.
According to CubCrafters’ President Randy Lervold, “The addition of BRS systems to our fleet not only provides a proven life-saving technology, but also additional peace of mind for Carbon Cub pilots and passengers.”
