News from Susan Mancuso
Two brand new LSA Sport Cruisers arrived today at Brookhaven Airport in Shirley, L.I. NY. for Sport flying USA/Mid Island Air Service. They were built in the Czech Republic, test flown and then put in a container and sent to the United States. They arrived in perfect condition without a scratch. Slovia capital is now running the Sport Cruiser factory and doing a great job. Let’s face it they still have the same talented Czech work force that has been building great airplanes for over 50 years, so it should be no surprise the Sport Cruiser is such a fine aircraft.
Sport Cruiser Features
The Sport Cruiser is all aluminum. Mechanics all over the country are familiar working with aluminum and I feel it is the better choice when deciding on an LSA.
The Sport Cruiser comes with a carburetor heat box as standard.
The Sport Cruiser has classy pre-engineered metal plates that install on the front oil cooler for
winter operations.
The Sport Cruiser comes with American “AN” standard hardware for easy maintenance wherever you land. All other European made LSA’s use metric hardware.
The Sport Cruiser has American made MATCO disc brakes and Goodyear tires and tubes.
All the Sport Cruiser tires are Goodyear 500-5.
The Sport Cruiser has full size tie down rings that accept up to ¾ inch rope.
The Sport Cruiser has a large metal fuel vent located under the wing.
The Sport Cruiser has fiberglass gear legs which are more forgiving when a landing is not perfectly straight. The fiberglass is easily repaired if damaged.
