NEWS Better Floats From Legend, Carbon Fiber Amphibs
New Carbon Fiber Floats from American Legend Aircraft Company are now available for all Legend Cub models including open or closed cowling, Continental O-200, Lycoming YO-233 or Titan O-340 powered versions. With LF1500A Legend Floats there's more flexibility than any other certified, LSA or kit-built Cub. 
The Legend AmphibCub now with carbon fiber amphibious floats.
Adding floats to a Legend Cub is an excellent way to expand your flying possibilities. Carbon fiber is the lightest and strongest material available making these floats more advanced than their metal, fiberglass or inflatable predecessors.
Unlike other landing gear options, adding LF1500A floats does not diminish your aircraft's performance. Their aerodynamic design provides lift, compensating for their own weight. The smooth lines of the carbon fiber shell minimize drag both on the water and in flight.
As you enjoy flying in and out of lakes, rivers and bays, the Legend Floats' amphibious design also enables landing on paved or turf runways. The beloved Cub is best known as the quintessential tailwheel aircraft; equipped with amphibious floats a Legend Cub tracks straight alleviating any tendency to ground loop.
By keeping things lightweight with carbon fiber, step taxi is brief on the Legend Floats. Plus, their superb buoyancy prevents porpoising and plowing while maneuvering on glassy water or wakes. The LF1500As add an unmatched low 230 lbs to the empty weight of the airplane. As a result, a realistic useful load fits well under the 1430 lb LSA floatplane weight limit. The LF1500A floats also offer watertight storage compartments.
An amphibious Legend Cub is the one aircraft customers have been wishing for. Now available, the certified, Kevlar and carbon fiber design, LF1500A floats add excitement and distinction to this ever-popular aircraft. But you've got to fly one yourself to see what makes these Legend Floats better. For more information on the Legend Cub, Super Legend and LF1500A Amphibious Floats, email us at info@legend.aero or call 903-885-7000.

LIFESTYLE First Canadian Registered Legend Cub
Olin McLean had little Cub time in his logbook; most of his flying was done in Cessna 152 and 172s. But living on a grass strip that was seasonally available for recreational flying, he wanted an airplane that he could share with his neighboring family members, also pilots.

The first Legend Cub to enter service in Canada, a Titan-powered Super Legend HP.
McLean is an admitted tinkerer. He'd previously built model airplanes. He had also raised a family and endures a career in the paving business. Winters in New Brunswick bring a wealth of free time in his profession; so mid-2015 he went searching for an aircraft building project.
After calling the factory of American Legend Aircraft Company, McLean was told he might want to visit with a Legend Cub owner in Maine. He met up with Dick Parsons at a location in-between for an initial look at Parsons' recently delivered Super Legend HP. They later flew out together for a breakfast run in the Super Legend.
McLean had looked at other options including a Carbon Cub. But none seemed to convey the excitement of the Legend Cub and its family of flyers, referring to both the available aircraft models and the pilots who fly them. His eventual selection of a Legend Cub was also steered by the willingness of the manufacturer to support him in his build project.

Amateur-built Super Legend HP now flying in Canada.
When asked about his choice of the "Combat" paint scheme, McLean offered "No particular reason." He had seen a photo of one and just thought, "It looked sharp." A friend, who is a painter, assisted with the build and the paint job. His kids helped in selecting emblems and ideas for the final touches.
According to McLean, registration took a little extra time since it was the first amateur-built Legend Cub in Canada. They have gotten beyond the bumps in the process and the aircraft is ready to fly. Future Canadian registrations will benefit from Olin McLean's efforts in bringing this timeless, adventuresome aircraft to the northernmost country in North America.
