CubCrafters, Inc. founder Jim Richmond died November 21 at his home in Yakima, Washington. Richmond began CubCrafters in 1980 to rebuild Piper Super Cubs, but he soon began introducing upgrades and new models. Over the years CubCrafters has introduced seven new aircraft models, both certified and Experimental, and produced about 1,500 aircraft. For those who want to honor Jim Richmond, the Richmond family suggests donations to the Idaho Aviation Foundation in his name.
