American Legend To Host Fabric Piper Restoration Seminar

February Event Will Feature Clyde Smith Jr.

American Legend Aircraft Company is doing all it can to keep the Cub legacy alive and well. The Sulphur Springs, TX planemaker announced recently it will host a three-day seminar next month with fabric aircraft restoration expert Clyde Smith Jr.

Smith, well known in the classic Piper aircraft industry, has dedicated his time to preserving the art of building and restoring fabric covered aircraft. Dates for the seminar are February 22-24, 2008. American Legend Aircraft Company will host and sponsor the event at its factory in Sulphur Springs (KSLR).

The three-day event will be held in conjunction with the company's KwikBild program, a builder-assist instructional program for customers who elect to fabricate their Texas Sport kit aircraft at the factory. While the seminar is geared towards Cub flyers, however, American Legend says builders of any aircraft are encouraged to attend the seminar.

Smith -- a 19-year veteran of Piper Aircraft, and known in aviation circles as "The Cub Doctor" -- is a member of the American Legend Advisory Board. In this role, Smith provides direction and advice on the manufacture of the light-sport Legend Cub, a light-sport certified design based on the classic Piper J-3 and PA-11. He presently serves as an advisor and author for the Cub Club having given countless seminars on aircraft restoration.

"I have been restoring aircraft, often working one-on-one with owners and restorers, for nearly 30 years now," Smith said. "In recent years, I have put my restoration work aside to conduct regional training sessions and work with small groups... It is my goal to preserve the past for the future, and pass this information on, so that these fine aircraft may be preserved, maintained, and enjoyed well into the future."

Cost of the seminar is $380; a $50 reservation/deposit is required.
