American Legend
Aircraft will offer the Dynon FlightDEK-D180 combination EFIS and
engine monitor on its Legend Cub. Additionally, the company
announced that the D180 will become standard equipment on the
company’s high-end Legend Cub Special package. Features of
the package include the display of fuel flow and carburetor inlet
temperature.
Dynon Avionics manufactures the FlightDEK-D180, an instrument
derived from the company’s popular EFIS-D100 electronic
flight information and EMS-D120 engine monitoring systems. The D180
features a large 7-inch diagonal, sunlight readable, color LCD
screen. It provides as many as ten primary flight instruments in
combination with up to 16 engine gauges. The D180 is a single box
solution for light aircraft with limited panel space. Its split
screen capability and interchangeable views facilitate paging
through a variety flight and engine data.
Ron Ulbrich, marketing director at Dynon stated, “Our
customers have set very high expectations. They have indicated
their desire to have all the functionality of our instruments in
one box. With the D180, we have committed to delivering on their
expectations.”
With the announcement, American Legend enjoys the advantage of
being the first FlightDEK-D180 customer. American Legend previously
broke ground by installing the first Dynon 7-inch display in its
3rd customer delivery of a Legend Cub. The reliability and
suitability of these instruments have proven to be very appealing
to Legend customers.
Tim Elliott, president of American Legend commented, “You
can certainly fly a Cub without sophisticated electronics. Part of
the pleasure of flying low-and-slow is in enhancing your skills as
a pilot. Dynon provides our customers with an excellent set of
tools for doing this.”
American Legend Aircraft Company is a manufacturer of
recreational aircraft that meet Light-Sport Aircraft certification
requirements. Their Legend Cub is 2-place design derived from the
classic Cub. It is powered by a 100-hp Continental O–200
engine with electric start. A variety of options are available
including choice of interior, avionics, wheels, floats, and more.
The Legend Cub is bringing back the enjoyment and economics of
general aviation aircraft to today’s flying enthusiasts.
