Williams had rebuilt Piper PA-18 Super Cubs before, but thought that the design could be improved upon and so he created a fresh design that incorporated the best of the Super Cub and corrected its deficiencies. This aircraft was marketed as the Custom Flight North Star with at least 24 examples having been flown by 2016.[2][3][4]
The Custom Flight Lite Star is a smaller, lighter aircraft for the light-sport aircraft market, although as of September 2014, the design does not appear on the Federal Aviation Administration's list of approved special light-sport aircraft.[1][5]
The company also provides general computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing services as well as powder coating.[6]
