THE HUSKY A-1B
The
Husky, conceptually based on the world famous Super Cub, is a completely
new design, created in 1986 and fully certified in 1987. It was designed
to do all the things that the Cub pilot used to say, "I wish it would do
that!!!" - In other words an improvement on the world's favorite airplane.
Over 650 have now been made and are in use all over the world. The Husky
is fully FAA certificated and is in use throughout Canada, Australia,
South Africa, all major European countries, Asia, and several South
American countries. Used as an observation platform by law enforcement
agencies, power and gas companies, environmental protection agencies and
many others, it also is proven to have the power to be a very effective
glider tug or to be used for banner towing, apart from being used as just
a fun airplane for the sheer joy of flying.
THE EAGLE II KITPLANE
This
is the famous homebuilt kit of a very similar design to the Pitts, which
was created by Frank Christensen. The Eagle also formed the famous "Eagles
Flight Team" which was the longest continuous airshow team in the United
States, running for 25 years. Famed as one of the most comprehensive and
best kits of all time, the Eagle comes complete with 32 manuals (one for
each kit subsection) that have been designed to lead the novice builder
smoothly through the process of building his own airplane.
