This must be one of the ultimate
kitplanes. From a standing start, accelerate the Legend to flying
speed in about 5 seconds. After lift-off, the steady push on your
back continues as you retract the gear and flaps. Pitch up for the
best rate of climb air speed and note climb rates of five thousand
feet per minute, and more.
Level off for cruise and you
quickly become aware that the Legend exhibits healthy, positive
static and dynamic stability, making cross-country flight the
enjoyable experience it should be. Comfortable cockpit seating and
superb visibility through the one-piece canopy further enhance the
experience.
Precise powerful control authority yields crisp pitch
response and allows you to experience roll rates of 200 degrees per
second.
Time to get back on the ground? The same powerful
aerodynamic controls provide solid comfortable handling in the
pattern and on the ground. 170 mph (148 knots) flap speeds and 150
mph (130 knots) gear speeds help you to reduce to pattern velocity
quickly and efficiently. With the turbine engine, there's no need to
worry about shock cooling.
Arrive over the fence at 95 to 100 mph (85 knots) and
upon touchdown, a powerful tail allows you to easily hold the nose
wheel off the ground until slowed. The extra wide track landing gear
stance provides outstanding directional stability during roll out,
as well as manoeuvrability for parking.
