A Bold New Design
While the patrol may give a passing resemblance to a cub, it is so much more. The Patrol is a clean sheet design, providing unmatched performance in its class. The Patrol offers a true aluminum signal strut wing, massive flaps, a modern Ribblet airfoil, oil dampened suspension, and generous cabin space all while maintaining the highest cruise speed in class. With a patrol you will burn 20% less fuel at cub speeds or open it up and climb to see true airspeeds of 150+mph.
Utility and Comfort
The Patrol offers the largest cabin in its class. With a width of 32 in, you will not find a more roomy aircraft of this size. The baggage door provides easy entry to the baggage compartment, allowing for access to whatever you may need to bring. With a cabin length of 9ft 5 in and a wide CG range, you can fit everything you need for an adventure.
Speed Where It Matters
The Patrol boasts the ability to cruise at 4x its stall speed. There are not very many aircraft capable of this performance. You will have the ability to land where you want and cruise home at 140+ mph. The picture seen is a 180hp Patrol on 31in tires at a 65% economy cruise doing 133mph true airspeed.
Engines / Propeller
The Patrol can accept a wide range of engines, with suitable horsepower ranging from 160-220hp. Fixed Pitch Propellers for a lightweight build and Constant Speed Propellers for maximum performance.
