REAL|NEWS The Legend FloatCub is an Amphibious Airplane
When the headline "Amphibious pitcher makes debut" rolled off the presses it was immediately recognized by many for the mistake it was. On the other hand (pun intended), when American Legend Aircraft Company built its Legend FloatCub with retractable wheels, it was immediately known we hit a home run. The Legend FloatCub is an amphibious airplane—it flies off of both land and water!

On the other hand, the Legend FloatCub is an amphibious airplane.
Designed and manufactured by American Legend Aircraft Company, the Legend FloatCub, with amphibious floats, can perform takeoffs and landings on both water and terra firma. Its LF1500A carbon fiber floats offer superb strength and are optimized for performance with Legend's FAA approved LSA and kit-built aircraft.

The Legend FloatCub, now equipped with carbon fiber floats.
The LF1500A floats are purposely built for the Legend Cub and Super Legend. American Legend Aircraft Company designed, tested and certified the floats in-house. They offer watertight storage compartments and are constructed of lightweight Kevlar reinforced carbon fiber composite.
Features include mechanically operated, retractable wheels. The rear wheels sport a trailing link design, while the front wheels cantilever forward. The solution is both practical and proven to ensure reliability and safety. Ground handling is exceptional. Differential braking and castoring front wheels provide positive steering control. On landing, the four wheels keep the "taildragger" in alignment with the runway.
Step taxi arrives quickly on takeoff with the float's designed-in rigidity and generous buoyancy. In flight, a Legend Cub will feel just like the wheeled aircraft. The aerodynamic shape of the floats provides some lift, negating additional drag and weight concerns. The floats are available for all Legend Cub models, including the open-cowled AL3 and Lycoming-equipped Super Legend.

The Legend FloatCub delivers more fun with more landing options.
"I have been flying a Legend FloatCub for several years now. It has been by far, one of the best purchases I have made in my 40 years of flying. I have flown flying boats and other floatplanes. This one is a keeper." - Bill Fosdick
The Legend FloatCub has an award-winning pedigree, having twice won Best Take-Off at International Seaplane Fly-In (Greenville, MN) in 2009 and 2010. The Legend FloatCub was also awarded Cutest Darn Aircraft on its debut in Greenville and Best Float Fabric Seaplane at Sun 'n Fun 2006. The Legend FloatCub first flew in June 2005.

REAL|NEWS Titan-powered Legend Cub has a Big Bite
If fire hydrants are the teeth of the sidewalk, we like to think of the Titan-powered Super Legend HP as the lion of the tundra and the tarmac. Without a doubt, the Super Legend is a performance leading aircraft. A 180-horsepower Titan engine gives the legendary Cub airframe it's biggest bite ever. The Super Legend HP can take off in as little as 35 feet. It's climb performance is well in excess of 1,500 feet per minute.

Designed and manufactured by American Legend Aircraft Company, the Super Legend HP, with its 180-horsepower Titan O-340 engine, is the highest performing model in the popular line of FAA approved and kit-built Legend Cub aircraft. The Super Legend HP made its first public appearance at Sun 'n Fun Fly-in 2015, marking the company's tenth anniversary there.

The Titan-powered Super Legend HP is the lion of the tundra and the tarmac.
The Titan O-340 is a stroked derivative of the Lycoming O-320. A 4-cylinder, 340-cubic-inch displacement engine, it is capable of outputting over 180 horsepower and weighs just 245 lbs. dry, 20 lbs. less than the similarly performing, and larger, O-360. The O-340 develops maximum continuous 180 horsepower with a 9.0:1 compression ratio. The Titan-powered Super Legend HP cruises comfortably at 104 mph TAS at 2,150 rpm—best in its class.

Today's Super Legend HP with its Titan engine simply outperforms aircraft of lore.
With the Super Legend HP, American Legend Aircraft Company brings high performance engines to an unbeatable newly manufactured Cub platform. At up to 1,750 lbs. gross weight, a Legend Cub is not only the most coveted of Cubs, but the most capable built today.
