Increases Speed By 10 MPH, Company Says
American Legend Aircraft Company and
its homebuilt-kit offshoot, Texas Sport Aircraft Company, announced
Wednesday the recent certification of a new 72-inch Sensenich
composite propeller for the Legend Cub special light-sport aircraft
(S-LSA) and Texas Sport kit aircraft.
The new propeller option increases aircraft performance by as
much as 10 MPH, according to company officials. The propeller is
ground-adjustable for owners to enhance performance, or tune the
prop for comfort and efficiency.
The Sensenich prop specified for use on the Legend Cub and Texas
Sport is a 2-blade model designed expressly for experimental and
light-sport aircraft. Offered as an upgrade from the Legend
Cub’s standard Sensenich 72x44 classic wood propeller, the
72-inch composite ground adjustable model costs $1,895.00. It is
also available to Continental O-200-equipped Legend Cub current
owners and Texas Sport builders for $2,556.00.
The 72-inch Sensenich propeller was recently tested and ASTM
certified for use on the Legend Cub and Texas Sport. During the
test it was noted that an additional 10 MPH can be achieved with
the prop adjusted to high cruise pitch, effectively increasing the
aircraft’s cruise speed to 108 MPH -- downright speedy for an
aircraft with roots in the classic Piper J-3.
American Legend Aircraft Company manufacturers the Legend Cub,
Legend FloatCub, Legend Combat, and Legend Cub Special—all
FAA-certified aircraft for sport, recreation, and training.
