American Legend Aircraft Company Selects Dynon FlightDEK for its Legend Cub and Legend Cub Special
SULPHUR SPRINGS, TEXAS, APRIL 3, 2006
– American Legend Aircraft Company announced today it will offer the
Dynon FlightDEK-D180 combination EFIS and engine monitor on its Legend
Cub. Additionally, the company announced that the D180 will become
standard equipment on the company’s high-end Legend Cub Special
package. Features of the package include the display of fuel flow and
carburetor inlet temperature.
Dynon Avionics manufactures the FlightDEK-D180, an instrument derived
from the company’s popular EFIS-D100 electronic flight information and
EMS-D120 engine monitoring systems. The D180 features a large 7-inch
diagonal, sunlight readable, color LCD screen. It provides as many as
ten primary flight instruments in combination with up to 16 engine
gauges. The D180 is a single box solution for light aircraft with
limited panel space. Its split screen capability and interchangeable
views facilitate paging through a variety flight and engine data.
Ron Ulbrich, marketing director at Dynon stated, “Our customers have
set very high expectations. They have indicated their desire to have
all the functionality of our instruments in one box. With the D180, we
have committed to delivering on their expectations.”
With the announcement, American Legend enjoys the advantage of being
the first FlightDEK-D180 customer. American Legend previously broke
ground by installing the first Dynon 7-inch display in its 3rd customer
delivery of a Legend Cub. The reliability and suitability of these
instruments have proven to be very appealing to Legend customers. Tim
Elliott, president of American Legend commented, “You can certainly fly
a Cub without sophisticated electronics. Part of the pleasure of flying
low-and-slow is in enhancing your skills as a pilot. Dynon provides our
customers with an excellent set of tools for doing this.”

aircraft that meet Light-Sport Aircraft certification requirements.
Their Legend Cub is 2-place design derived from the classic Cub. It is
