I went to look at American Legend Cubs in Sulphur Springs, Texas yesterday. I could not have been more impressed with the facility and the people. They are building great airplanes. They had a new Super Legend covered in unpainted (except for stripes) white oratex fabric. They say oratex saved 12 lbs over traditional painted Ceconite. The oratex does not look as good as Ceconite because it is not shiny.
I flew the Super Legend around the patch. It is a cub through and through. I did not have enough time to compare the performance, but it seemed to perform equal to or better than my 150 hp PA-14 in terms of takeoff. It lands much better because it is so much lighter.
