American Legend Aircraft Says If $100,000 Plus Cub Is Not In Your Future, There May Be Another Way To Go

What if you could take delivery of a "new" Cub for a sum well south of today's typical $100K plus price? American Legend Aircraft, manufacturers of the Legend Cub, say there’s a trend in the industry and it's popularly known as "reimagined" aircraft.

American Legend says they’ve been "reimagining" Cubs since the company's inception. According to the American Legend publication called, Liaison Brief, “We simply refer to it the old fashion way, as aircraft restoration. Regardless of the name, what the buyer gets remains the same, a restored Cub that is factory new. It's the best build for your dollar, guaranteed.”

Even before American Legend began building Cubs, more than ten years ago, they had been rebuilding vintage aircraft. Today at the factory, they take aged aircraft, flying or not, and strip them down part-by-part. Every item, from control cable to captive nut, is inspected for fitness and longevity. It's then overhauled or replaced with a certified new one. The result is a distinctive aircraft in often better-than-new condition.

American Legend can take nearly any legacy Piper or other ragwing airframe and bring it back to life. These everlasting airframes, following just weeks of meticulous work, can be faithfully restored to modern standards.

American Legend says the first step to a reimagined Cub is finding an old one. However, they also say they can start with an incomplete aircraft, and often with nothing more than a box of old parts. After acquisition, American Legend says one can expect refurbishment costs to be around $60K.

If you're on the path to a low-cost way to fly and a reimagined Cub sounds like the way to go, there's certainly a classic Cub out there for you. With a production run of around 40,000 Cubs of all configurations, there are plenty of subject airframes ready to be rebuilt.

American Legend Aircraft Company can take the Cub of your choice, in virtually any condition, and restore, rebuild or reimagine it the way you desire. The final product will be striking for sure and the subject of ramp conversations everywhere you go. And best of all, it will fly like the illustrious Cub.
