CubCrafters has just come out with a what they call a Discovery Kit, which is designed to allow potential Carbon Cub builders a chance to see if they can get comfortable with fabric covering before committing to the whole kit. The Discovery Kit costs $995 and includes an actual Carbon Cub EX-2 rudder and all the the materials and chemicals needed to cover it. Considering the substantial investment a complete kit requires, this should help to put those who may be nervous about fabric construction at ease. The best part is that if they decide to go ahead and purchase the complete kit, the rudder is already finished.
