Picture of the Day: First flight
Will Luggar submitted this photo and note: “First flight after an eight-month build of a Carbon Cub EX3! It’s at home flying off a private 1,600-foot grass runway in northern Minnesota. It took around 700 hours to build the EX3, which features a Garmin G3X and autopilot. It is powered by an experimental 363i Lycoming engine, which produces 186 hp.”
