4 Place Super Cub With Kirk Ellis Presented by Airframes 

"500 foot strip...a fairly long strip". Wow, these guys are amazing.

I’ve put 300 hours on this 4 place and it just keeps getting better. Currently having Kirk build us a second 4 place so me and my partner on 896AK can each have our own.

Looks like the perfect back country hauler. Similar performance to a 2 seater with the room of 4... definitely leading position for my next purchase

When I think of a Super Cub I'm thinking of something that's as close to a helicopter as you can get and still have wings on it. Good stuff thanks for posting

I am not a pilot, but I love bighorn sheep hunting (going on 40 years of hunts ) and my buddy has a Bush Caddy ultra light. We use horses I just wanted to say i found the video very interesting and Kirk Ellis experience and knowledge was something that you cannot learn in a school. If I win the lotto i will be getting a license and looking him up. Thanks from Canada

A four place cub is still my dream plane.

What a great airplane and a wealth of knowledge this man is.

Awesome... Kirk is so very skilled at building those 4 placers

What a nice aircraft.

It's almost unhealthy how bad I want one of these.

Doesn’t Maule make a 4 place Super Cub? 😎

Great video

COOL , enjoy your fifteen minutes Kirk .

I want his plane or one like this for Christmas 😳

Can you fly it with the doors open? Great informational video.

Whoa what a beautiful plane! If I didn’t need a house for my kids I’d snag one of these things! 😁

Nice. Am curious how you figure out how much to lengthen the wings, and how does the engine size compare with a regular Super Cub? Good video. Good luck, guys. Stay safe - Covid still nasty.

Very nice acft , what’s the time for you to build one as compared with say a kit form for self builder ?

Great

Kirk !! Would have loved to work with you !! I had a set of plans for a "Chubby Cubby" once upon a time, but life veered and the project never happened. All the best !

More vis n comment on the double slotted flap system plz

Legend!

Kirk have you ever tried a super stol wing set on the 4 place?

How about the wing... any changes to overall SF..extra ribs?...other than extended flaps and ailerons

There were 6 STC'd 4 place Cubs built in Missouri and sent to Alaska during the building of the pipeline. Are these Cubs based on that design?

WHAT SIZE FLOATS WOULD WORK BEST?

I LIKE IT !.... and the color is correct........ wow.......... nice plane......... how many flying hours ?

Be curious how it performs compared to a Producer or a Bushmaster?

What a great 👍 💡 . I really 💕 the super cub anyway and to get the performance plus the extra room... what could be nicer?

Nice machine, wondering if it will be a good seaplane ?

Do you have plans to build more?

How does it compare to a Bearhawk 4-place?

Hm, I wonder here... There's a guy Clint Busenitz in South Dakota (the Vetterman Exhaust) that builds Cubs with Cessna 152 or 172 wings. With the 172 wing in weighs 1080 lb, max gross wieght is about 2200 lb. So the payload is more than the plane's wight-1120 lb. ...what if combine this Kirk's 4-seater Cub with that Clint's "Cessna-wing-on-a-Cub" idea?😛

Where do the floats attach?

Where did you have the seats done I have a pacer with a 180 HP and the seat just kills my back and makes it no fun to fly

Is it the same size strut as a pa-18

What are the wings that are used on the 4 place super cub?

Can you put these on floats?

How do I find out more about these and where to get one or a kit

What about the Murphy Moose and Bearhawk?

How does this compare to the Sherpa?

Other than the novelty and it being unique and cool, it seems like buying a Maule would be a simpler way to achieve the same mission.

What about the slats? yeeeehaaaaaw

How’s it compare to something like a “Producer” Stretched PA22?

Can you do a nice video of inside and outside of the plane just by itself please

how does it do with two men and two elk/moose? can you carry it easy still?

Can a Carbon Cub Increased gross weight kit be used with a 4 place Cub? Also, is it still compatible with PA-18 Floats?

Landin system.... you mean wheels?

If the standard 2 place Cub is the 'pick-up of the sky' then this is the "crew cab" version.

I WANT ONE , PLEASE ! HOW MUCH ?

a bit more modern and stronger engine would make him to a supercup ?

If a Kitfox, a Cub, and a 182 all has a child together 😂

Can someone who is 6'4'' for in it though?

Said Maule is faster... Did I miss a cruise speed? Or does cruise speed matter in the STOL world?

Put a stol wing on that thing

Builder says something and then and the other guy repeats it. Why ??

How dose it compair to the bearhawk 4 place?

An aft cg...within the limit...will give you a slower stall speed and a higher cruise speed. If you want to see better...and this is the truth...get a seat cushion. This will raise your head higher which will also force you to bring your seat forward...which gives you a better view on approach and landing. Give it a try.

Is a 4 place Cub really a Cub??

certified airplane? what is the secret to put it into the experimental class? Experimental Exhibition? Experimental Amature Built?

It s dificult for this plane to take off in a short runway with 4 passengers on.

How much useful load???

She's a far cry from a beaver is what your saying

I hate to say it....a super cub is just not. A plane for 4 place configured like that...that cock It and controls are boxed out....everything is forced and put as an afterthought...just like an 1980s humvee...nothings ergonomic. Nobody is comfortable goin cross country... get a Cessna if that’s your intent.... a S cub needs to hug your elbows and the controls just don’t fit centered in the air away from the convenience of the workings hidden in the outer frame... leave them at 900 pounds in,t opinion..but I definetly appreciatie the workmanship and craft that this guy did...a true fabricator.

Did I hear you correctly?????? At 11:25 in the video you said "you have 700 something pounds of useful load". WHAT?!!! This is a FOUR place. Four 200 pound men is 800lbs!!! No fuel, NO baggage, no nothing! What the heck! So this is still a TWO place aircraft! Two people at 400lbs then you can put in 50 gallons of fuel and you are about to be over weight if you put on headsets and bring a water bottle. What if your one friend who wants to go with you is 250lbs? Less fuel? In Alaska you need that fuel to get to the remote areas. Alaska is three times the size of Texas and there isn't as many airports with fuel as Texas. So this aircraft is basically a single person plane that can carry enough fuel to get you there and back and have still 100lbs of cargo. Better to buy a Murphy Moose! Cheaper too!

It’s not a slim super Cub…it’s a fat boy

Amazing Work. Keep entertaining Your Fans! Also, Let's be youtube friends? xo
