American Legend Aircraft Company Offers Parachute Option For The Legend Cub

SULPHUR SPRINGS, TEXAS, APRIL 16, 2007 - American Legend Aircraft Company announced today the availability of a BRS whole-airplane parachute system for its Legend Cub. Installation of the BRS emergency parachute provides owners enhanced safety in the operation of their Legend Cub.

Following its engineering and testing efforts, American Legend Aircraft Company completed the certification of the BRS system for installation in the Legend Cub. The BRS is manufactured by Ballistic Recovery Systems, Inc. of South St. Paul, Minnesota. The BRS 6 parachute system is ASTM compliant and is designed for light-sport certified aircraft including the Legend Cub. Installed on a Legend Cub, the BRS adds 29 pounds, comprises a 40-foot canopy when deployed, and carries a 12-year service life.

Installation of a BRS parachute provides Legend Cub owners, operators and passengers with an additional level of safety enhancement. The Legend Cub is based on the enduring Cub design. The aircraft's appeal stems from its ability to fly low-and-slow with superb visibility and notable safety. Although stall speed on the Legend Cub is a low 38 MPH (35 MPH when equipped with vortex generators), pilot and passenger comfort is enhanced knowing that an aircraft is parachute-equipped. The BRS parachute joins a long list of Legend Cub safety features including force absorbing comfort foam seats, non-rebounding landing gear springs, high-strength chromolly frame construction, high-reliability engine options, as well as a wide choice of avionics to enhance situational awareness.

The American Legend Cub is an all-new aircraft with flying characteristics designed around the joy of flying. The array of options available in the Legend Cub allows customers to specify their aircraft with unique appeal matched to their individual personality.
