You bet! Legend has been underrecognized here for a long time!
I've spent about fifty hours teaching in an AL18 Super Legend in the last months, it really is a friskly little airplane.

I have many hours with the AL3 on both Legend and Baumann floats. Good performer on both land and water. PM me if you have any specific questions.

The Legend is/has been on my list of possible future purchase for quite some time. Been a big fan since they started producing their 'copy' of the J-3 many years ago. They've slowly increased the capabilities of their options up to the now made beast, the MOAC. I visited the factory a couple of years ago and may still someday have one build or do the build assist. My 172 is finally going to it's next caretaker this spring so I have been crunching numbers and actively looking for the next 'toy' for my box.
Been offered a very low time 180K (1600TT),a Piper PA-14 that is owned by a friend. I keep coming back to the Legend, A Super Legend HP specifically.
I personally like the Legend over the 'other' brand, mostly for my own reasons. Darin is a very down to earth type and super easy to talk to.
Hopefully more Legend owners will post their experiences.

No experience on floats. I have a Super Legend that came with the O-233 Lyc 115 hp. Now I have the Titan O-340 on it. There is a story behind the change that has nothing to do with the O-233 or American Legend Aircraft. For just screwing around, the 115 hp was wonderful. I took it the 15,000 ft with full fuel and my daughter in the back seat (skinny 17 year old). It performed about the same as a 150 hp SuperCub (I did a 2 day flight head to head with a PA-18 from Santa Fe to Fort Worth to come up with that opinion). The Titan is a little faster, better with a load, and climbs better, but is not quite as light on the controls. For a given speed, fuel burn is almost the same.
My dealings with Darin Hart and American Legend Aircraft have been great. They do my annuals and incorporate any upgrades I request. The downside is that I miss going out to Graham and seeing Steve Pierce for my annuals (he took care of my PA-14).

I only have about 3 hours in a Super Legend so I can't really speak much about it. I've got about 40 hours in AL3's so far and it's such a great airplane. If you have any specific questions about them let me know...be glad to talk to you.

I think the AL-3 on Amphib floats is the most joyful airplane you can fly! And I've flown many different models, Maule, C180, PA-18, PA-16, PA-14. If the AL-3 fits your mission then I say go for it!

Good question, the few I've seen appear to be top quality and excellent performers.
I stopped in Lockhart yesterday for a bbq lunch on my way to south Texas from Fort Worth. I met one guy who is buying a brand new stripped down AL3 and another guy who an AL3 (which was totaled buy his instructor with another student). This was the most Legend Cub talk I’ve had in awhile.
