NOTAM MARCH 1, 2012

It has come to our attention that some customers have not been grounding the fuel tanks to the airframe. 
Please make sure you have a positive electrical connection between the fuel tanks and the airframe, and airframe to engine. 
This allows any static to discharge through the exhaust before fueling. 

If you have any questions about the procedure to ground your tanks, please call

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 evaluate 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 were 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 kits flying, and is happy to announce that the process of obtaining a Certificate of Airworthiness is now even easier for the amateur builder.
