American Legend
Aircraft Company has introduced its new Legend Cub Special, a
variant of the Legend Cub 2-place sport aircraft. The Legend Cub
Special is an evolutionary next step in the development of a family
of aircraft produced by the company.
American Legend Aircraft Company offers the new Legend Cub
Special with a variety of standard features. Most notably, the
Legend Cub Special introduces a new two-tone paint scheme. Cubs
have always been notable for being all yellow with a black
lightning bolt on the side of the fuselage. However, the original
Cub Special, first produced in 1947, donned a two-color fuselage
reminiscent of the Aeronca Champ yellow and orange pattern. The
Legend Cub Special for 2006, sports a similar two-tone paint scheme
incorporating a sweeping curve that divides top and bottom of the
fuselage.
In addition to the new paint, the Legend Cub Special comes with
a number of customer-demanded features. These include a special
leather interior, adjustable pilot air vents, an interior light,
and a Nav/Comm avionics package.
Instrumentation includes the Garmin SL40 Comm and GTX 327
transponder, a panel-dock-mounted Garmin 396 color moving map GPS,
and a PS Engineering intercom. Other standard features of the
Legend Cub Special are strobe, Nav, interior and landing lights; an
air/oil separator; an oil quick drain; a composite propeller; and
large 8.00 x 6 tires. An optional EFIS package includes the new
Dynon FlightDEK-D180.
With the introduction of the Legend Cub Special, American Legend
has taken a similar next step approach as did William Piper with
his historic J-3 Cub. Piper followed the J-3 with the PA-11 Cub
Special (also L-18 military variant). Today’s descendent of
the immortal Cub, the Legend Cub Special combines the best of the
old and the best of the new. The Legend Cub Special from American
Legend Aircraft Company is an enhanced version of the proven,
standard Legend Cub.
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, etc. The
Legend Cub is bringing back the enjoyment and economics of general
aviation aircraft to today’s flying enthusiasts.
