The Wag-Aero CUBy is a replica of the Piper J-3, designed by Dick Wagner and marketed by Wag-Aero of Lyons, Wisconsin as plans or in kit form.〔Plane and Pilot: ''1978 Aircraft Directory'', page 159. Werner & Werner Corp, Santa Monica CA, 1977. ISBN 0-918312-00-0〕〔Purdy, Don: ''AeroCrafter - Homebuilt Aircraft Sourcebook'', page 289. BAI Communications. ISBN 0-9636409-4-1〕 The aircraft is currently marketed under the name Wag-Aero Sport Trainer.〔(The Wag-Aero Group - Kitplanes )〕 ==Design and development== Wag-Aero started with a line of inspection covers, then eventually a comprehensive line of aircraft parts, including a full line of parts for the Piper Cub. After several attempts to purchase the rights to the Piper Cub for new production, Wag-Aero owner Jack Wagner designed a homebuilt kit that would allow homebuilders to construct new aircraft similar to the Cub.〔 While the CUBy was initially offered with wooden wing ribs and spars like the Piper Cub, aluminum ribs and spars were later added as an option, also like later Cubs. The aircraft does differ from the original Piper design in several ways including having its fuselage fabricated from 4130 steel instead of the Cub's original 1025 carbon steel and utilizing a conventional elevator-mounted trim tab in place of the Cub's jack screw trimming system that adjusts the Cub's elevator angle of incidence.〔 The CUBy drawings were drafted by Bill Blake. The prototype first flew on March 12, 1975 fitted with skis. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wag-Aero CUBy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
