BADLANDS STOL is doing some exciting things up in South Dakota.
One product offering which caught my attention was their leading edge cuff for experimental Cubs. Unfortunately, all Cubs are not created equal and this is especially so with experimental Cubs. My leading edge profile might be similar to others, but more likely it is unique and subject to the eyesight and accuracy of who built the rib jig.
How can someone in South Dakota get accurate measurements of a Cub located in Colorado without making me making the trip?
Simple, we can ship it to them!
First step, 3D scan the leading edge:
Next, 3D print the important area of the leading edge:
Now we can stick the leading edge in a box and ship it off!
