Technology that responds to global demand

CubCrafters recently announced the development of the Carbon Cub UL. A variant of the best-selling Carbon Cub, it features the new turbocharged, multi-fuel Rotax 916 iS engine which, in combination with other CubCrafters engineering enhancements makes the plane, lighter, faster and even more maneuverable. It’s designed for international markets that represent 50% of global demand for adventure airplanes. Since only 10% of CubCrafters’ sales are international, it opens up a vast potential market.

Robots lend a hand

The strong demand for CubCrafters products had led to a more than two-year backlog on new airplane orders. We wanted reduce that backlog and our aircraft into the hands of our customers as soon as we could without compromising our high quality standards, so we made a significant investment in robotic manufacturing that both increases the speed of production and enhances the quality as well.

Investing in CubCrafters Is Now Available In all States

Non-accredited investors from Florida, New Jersey, Texas and Washington can now invest in CubCrafters’ public offering.

CubCrafters, a leading designer and manufacturer of Light-Sport and Part 23 Certified aircraft, announced today that they can now accept new investment from non-accredited investors residing in the states of Florida, New Jersey, Texas and Washington.

In July of 2022, the company announced its intention to go public, and was subsequently qualified by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a public stock offering of up to $50 million using the Regulation A+ exemption, but was unable to accept investments from non-accredited investors in several states, due to local restrictions in those states.

In order to accommodate the high level of investor interest in those states, CubCrafters has now launched a new Regulation CF campaign, offering the same preferred stock to the public, at the same initial price of $5 per share, and with the same $400 minimum investment.

“Our fans, customers, aviation enthusiasts, employees, and even the general public in the states of Florida, New Jersey, Texas, and Washington have told us that they very much want to participate in this investment opportunity,” stated Patrick Horgan, CubCrafters President and CEO. “It was always our intention for everyone to be able to participate in our offering regardless of their location, and now they can.”

CubCrafters capital raise will be used to increase manufacturing capacity to reduce order backlog, accelerate the pace of innovation to meet pilots’ demand for faster, more powerful, technically capable aircraft, to improve customer support, and to boost sales in overseas markets where the company flagship XCub aircraft has received international certifications from regional aviation authorities.

"Our fans, customers, aviation enthusiasts, employees, and even the general public in the states of Florida, New Jersey, Texas, and Washington can now participate in this investment opportunity.”

As part of a multi-year contract with CubCrafters, the airplanes will be primarily used for natural resource management; with the first two aircraft scheduled for delivery in late summer 2023.

Steve, Thank you for taking an interest in CubCrafters and for the question posed. Our aspiration as a management team is to deliver value to all our stake holders and we continually assess the various opportunities to do just that. By filing our Reg A+ with the SEC, once the SEC Qualifies our filing, it becomes a public offering in the sense that the buyers of our stock will then be allowed by the SEC to sell their shares. It is our intention that after raising capital through the Reg A+, we will considering listing our stock on one of the exchanges available to us, which include Alternative Trading Systems (ATS), that provide liquidity with no shorting or naked shorting of stocks. Or, on exchanges such as OTCQB , the OTCQX, or the NASDAQ. Upon Qualification, and after raising sufficient capital from enough investors, Reg A+ can be used as the listing vehicle to the NASDAQ or the NYSE. Our management team will consider all the circumstances as we continue on our capital raising process and select the most prudent liquidity vehicle. Note that we cannot guarantee that the SEC will qualify our Reg A+ or that we will raise capital through the offering.

Steve on August 12
Thanks. I'm looking forward to "taking a ride" with CubCrafters!
