I had a comment on my wing cuff post about the FX2 and FX3 leading edge being different, while it is true that the rib is visually different, the outer shape of the leading edge is exactly the same, all of the cubs, carbon cubs, sport cubs and any plane that has a US35 B airfoil can be fitted with a cuff designed for that airfoil,

Thanks for all your interest in the design

Just on my way back from Kenya, just installed a set of wing cuffs on the Ascender, very positive results from the first flight tests, they fixed a small aero turbulence, flatter cruise angle, slower and shorter landing and takeoff and the stall is very tame,

Cuff update
We had two beautiful days at the end of the year here, perfect for testing, two different pilots Sterling L and Doug K, sterling flew Tuesday cold calm and clear both days, his results were no cruise penalties and average across the four compass points 100 mph without cuff 101 with cuff, and a stall reduction of 3.5 mph on average and felt the break over with cuffs was less than without, day two we felt we didn’t need to redo the cruise test, and Doug’s stall test showed 1.5 mph slower at only one degree more AOA, break over was about the same and noted it was harder to get the stall with the cuffs, hopefully I can get Greg to come down for a flight and get his impressions, cuff weight installed with sealant should be six pounds per side 12 total, and I should be able to sell them raw no finish for 4000.00 a set plus shipping if anyone might be interested, I’ll keep you posted on any further development and try to get some landing videos too

Thanks
Eric Lewis
