“The Hartzell team is very pleased to continue our\nexcellent and longstanding relationship with CubCrafters,” said Hartzell\nPropeller President JJ Frigge. “The new NXCub has the opportunity of\nopening up backcountry flying to a much broader portion of the pilot\npopulation, and we are privileged to take part.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hartzell’s carbon fiber composite two-blade Trailblazer prop\nwill be standard equipment on the NXCub. Hartzell’s newly certified three-blade\nPathfinder propeller will be available as an option. Both propellers will be\noffered with a 76 inch diameter on the NXCub. Paired with CubCrafters new\nLycoming CC393i engine on the XCub, these propellers continue a tradition of\never-increasing performance for the CubCrafters and Hartzell relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With updated aerodynamics and internal structure, the\nPathfinder is quieter, smoother, and, like the popular two-blade Hartzell\nTrailblazer propeller, it is optimized for back country operations. The\nPathfinder propeller with aluminum hub and structural composite blades weighs\n44 lbs. and is a three-blade alternative to the reliable Trailblazer prop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CubCrafters notes that the nosewheel-equipped NXCub is\nalready selling well, and early customers have been excited about the new\nPathfinder propeller option. With dozens of the new NX aircraft already sold\nand scheduled to deliver to over the next 12 months, Hartzell is committed to\nramping up production of the Pathfinder to fulfill the need for this next\ngeneration of backcountry propeller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CubCrafters President Patrick Horgan said, “Hartzell\nwas the perfect collaborator as we went through this process. Backcountry\nflying is a part of their heritage. Working with a teammate like Hartzell, with\ntheir experience developing new aircraft with OEMs, was a rewarding experience\nand will give our customers an extra measure of confidence wherever they\nfly.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
