SULPHUR SPRINGS, TEXAS, JULY 17, 2007 – Texas Sport Aircraft Company announced today the immediate availability of the Texas Sport amateur-built aircraft kit. The Texas Sport is a kit derivative of the American Legend Cub and is intended for amateur aircraft builders. Complete kits of the Texas Sport are now in stock and ready for customer deliveries.

In anticipation of demand at AirVenture Oshkosh 2007, Texas Sport Aircraft Company has prepared a limited number of kits. For orders placed in advance of this show, a limited number of customers can expect immediate delivery. The Texas Sport was introduced at Sun ‘n Fun Fly-in in April 2007.

The Texas Sport design is based on the Legend Cub and incorporates the many features of the J-3, PA-11, and PA-18 Piper Cubs. Builders of the Texas Sport kit can certify their aircraft in one of two ways. First, builders can pilot their Texas Sport under the new Sport Pilot rules at a gross weight of 1,320 pounds. Or, the Texas Sport can be certified at 1,600 pounds and flown with a private pilot license. The Texas Sport aircraft kit was designed for both novice and experienced builders.

Base price of the Texas Sport Aircraft kit is $37,600 with additional options including powerplant, electrical components, avionics and instrumentation, interior and paint finishes. Texas Sport Aircraft Company also offers a 14- or 21-day KwikBildâ„¢ program to assist builders with the completion of their aircraft.

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. A complete kit will also be on display during AirVenture Oshkosh 2007 in Booth #222. The joys of recreational flying are expanded by the availability of the Texas Sport.
