Description

In this episode I talk to Don Wade, from Patriot Aircraft.  He, along with his brother Ron, have been very involved in the Cub business for many years…starting from engines and fabric, to J-3 restorations, and now the super cub variant they call Super Patriot.  We talk about getting started and how the Super Patriot came to be.  Along the way we talk about the airplane's finer details and what they all mean to the company.  Through this look behind the curtain at Patriot Aircraft we get a glimpse at what they're up to and what's coming down the line.  This is a great listen to hear about how the planes are made and the level of detail required to make them successful.
