What do you get when you take America's top-selling Legend Cub airframe, swap in a 115 hp Lycoming 10-233 LSA engine, add flaps and rebuild the doors, seats, baggage door, cowl, boot cowl and some smaller components with carbon fiber? Answer: The Super Legend Cub. Due for delivery next spring at Sebring's LSA Expo, the first production model will go to Rich Giannotti—who also bought the very first Legend Cub! How's that for a customer testimonial? "All the orders on the book so far," says Legend's marketing whiz Dave Graham, "are from existing Legend Cub owners." Arriving at essentially the same airframe weight, the slightly heavier IO-233's 115 hp, which comes with throttle body injector system, tuned intake manifold and dual electronic ignition, delivers greater short-field performance and cruise speed. And the flaps will augment short-field/steep-approach capability.
