Building the Orion Cub
Technical and practical discussion about specific aircraft types such as Cessna 180, Maule M7, et al. Please read and search carefully before posting, as many popular topics have already been discussed.
I like the wing tips. Looking forward to seeing what the empty weight is.

One question about the seats. Are the headrests an option? I can see the, being a aim when wearing a helmet. The cord comes in the back of my helmet, so the protrusion there coupled with the thickness of the helmet may make it awkward to sit in with the headrest.
Just thinking out loud.

Thanks for the feedback, the helmet interference is a good point. I am sure it will be pretty easy the remove and modify the headrest area on request.

We got her up on proper bush gear and bigger tyres. She is ready to FLY! Next time we will report the first flight review.

SHE FLIES!
The Orion Cub has made a very successful maiden flight and further testing flights are progressing well.

I stumbed into this thread from a Youtube Channel, Gareth Hitchings (South African STOL flying). I didn't realize it was already discussed in BCP.
How about an update.
How will this kit be presented to North American customers?

It has been a while since our last post here, but a lot has happened, and our operation has really ramped up in the meantime.
We now have a distributor established in the USA, and their first kits are being shipped. Have a look at
