LOOP News![]() 12 JUL 06: GRASSHOPPER CUB RETURNSThe all-new Legend 'Combat' is certified for the US Light Sport category for sub-600kg aircraft. The Combat is a two-seat tube-and-fabric aircraft with military paint and markings. "It's reminiscent of the historic Piper L-4, L-18 and L-21 produced as liaison aircraft for the US Army and Air Force," said the Texas-based company. "These aircraft are commonly nicknamed 'Grasshopper'; the Legend Cub and Legend Combat are well-suited to takeoffs and landings on grass strips." The Legend Combat features military green paint with black and white markings of the 1940s. Unlike the original, the Combat has high-tech instrumentation, plush interior finishes and a modern electrical system. American Legend is one of two major manufacturers in the US of Cub replicas. The original Legend Cub is a two-place aircraft designed for the recreational and light-sport pilot, similar in design and appearance to vintage Piper J-3, PA-11 and PA-18 Cubs.
