Backcountry Super Cubs added to FAA's eligible kit list

The FAA national kit evaluation team was in Douglas, Wyoming the first week of December, 2010 to evaluated 4 different aircraft kits produced by Backcountry Super Cubs, LLC. The company had each of the kits it currently offers, the Super Cub Replica, Super Cruiser, Mackey SQ2, & the Mackey SQ4 evaluated. The Aviation Safety Inspectors determined that all four kits meet the major portion requirement of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations part 21, Certification Procedures for Products, Articles and Parts, § 21.191(g). The kits where officially added to the FAA's listing of Amateur-Built aircraft that comply with the 51% rule on December 30.

The company has almost 200 of its kits flying, and is very happy to announce the process of obtaining a Certificate of Airworthiness is now even easier for the Amateur builder.
