Husky (Aviat)
Aviat is a well established kit builder renowned for
the quality of parts. Aviat Aircraft designed the Husky to service
the special requirements of bush pilots and student pilots alike.
The aircraft is reliable, responsive, and rugged. It can take just
about anything an experienced bushwhacker or plebe can throw at it.
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 favourite 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.
