AeroSports Update: American Legend Cub Gets Improvements

The American Legend Aircraft Company Offers New Features For Its Super Legend Cub

American Legend Aircraft Company has announced a host of new features for its Super Legend Cub aircraft. Standard and optionally available, these features range from advanced carbon fiber components, including the company's new carbon fiber amphibious floats, to the latest in NextGen and touchscreen electronic flight displays.

Under a classic-looking PA-18 style pressure cowling, made of carbon fiber, is a Lycoming YO-233 engine that outputs 115 horsepower at 2800 rpm and extends the limits of Legend Cub performance. The Super Legend's strength-tested airframe, up to 1750 lbs., also gains flaps and larger tail feathers. While many components have been lightened to maintain the Legend Cub's useful load of 475 lbs., the Super Legend accommodates two occupants and baggage. Carbon fiber components now standard include doors, floorboards, interior and baggage panels, spinner, and wingtip bows.

American Legend completed the recent certification of its own Kevlar and carbon fiber LF1500A float design. Built purposely for the Super Legend, the company's amphibian floats sport a manual gear mechanism plus watertight storage compartments.

In the cockpit, The Garmin G3X cockpit display system now brings the latest in advanced avionics to the line of Legend Cub aircraft. Available in both a 7-inch and 10.6-inch touch screen display. The Company has also successfully installed and received approval of an ADS-B system for the Legend Cub. The option includes a FreeFlight Systems Model 1201 WAAS GPS sensor and a Trig Mode S and 1090ES ADS-B Out capable transponder.

American Legend Aircraft Company manufactures the Legend Cub and Super Legend, both FAA-certified aircraft for sport, recreation and training. These aircraft are powered by Continental and Lycoming engines.

Kit versions of the Legend Cub and Super Legend allow amateur builders to create and fly their own, and can be certified to 1,750 GTOW.
