Texas Sport Aircraft Company announced today the introduction of the Texas Sport amateur-built aircraft. The Texas Sport is a factory-new aircraft kit intended for amateur builders. The design of the Texas Sport is in the spirit of the American Legend Cub and historic Piper J-3 Cub.
The Texas Sport combines the most popular features of the J-3, PA-11, and PA-18 designs. Builders can certify to a gross weight of 1320-pounds, and then pilot their Texas Sport under the new Sport Pilot regulations. Or, the Texas Sport can be certified with a higher gross weight of 1600-pounds. The Texas Sport is similar in appearance to the Piper Cub utilizing a J-3 wing design, PA-11 struts, and outboard wing attachments like the PA-18 Super Cub. Like the Legend Cub, the airframe features a 3-inch wider cockpit providing a noticeably larger cabin. Additionally, fuel is stored in the wings allowing for solo flight from the forward seat. The Texas Sport comes with a choice of PA-11 style closed cowl or J-3 style "eyebrows."
The Texas Sport kit allows amateur builders to complete their own aircraft with their choice of features and options, often at a fraction of the cost of a production airplane. The joy of flying tube-and-fabric aircraft is expanded by the availability of the Texas Sport. |
