    Default Best Manufacturer of the Year

    CubCrafters received a big tip o' the hat from The Aviation Consumer this week by naming us Best Manufacturer of the Year!

    Thank you guys!The staff writes: Steve Jobs once said of Apple that the genius of business success was to invent products would-be buyers didn’t know they needed. Apple succeeds brilliantly at this, but the advice applies equally to airplanes. He who stands still and treads water will soon wither. Even small companies must innovate and move forward and our editor’s choice for the top company doing that this year is CubCrafters, the scrappy taildragger manufacturer based in Yakima, Washington.

    As detailed in the story, "Cub Crafters' XCub" in the July 2016 issue, CubCrafters has cannily plied the Cub-type aircraft niche to not only stay in business, but to prosper with modest growth.

    It has thus kept itself near the top of the light sport market in sales volume and with the introduction of the X-Cub reviewed in this issue, it again ventures into the Part 23 market with an airplane that will give Aviat’s Husky some serious competition, in our view. Was the market crying out for an ultra Cub, the fastest and most luxurious example of this class of airplane? Probably not, but now that CubCrafters has it out there, we predict that a lot of buyers are going to want it. For that reason, we’re choosing CubCrafters as our top pick for the best manufacturer of the year. Visit CubCrafters.com.
