Aviat Husky Vs Super Cub

772010 In many respects the Husky is a better aircraft.

Aviat husky vs super cub. I suggest you fly all of them to find out for yourself but the Super Cub and the Husky seem like flying Suburbans. The Aviat Husky and Piper Super Cub. But they are a lot faster than a Super Cub and they are great on floats.

There is lots of uninformed opinion about flying the Husky most of it focused on the trim system and landing technique. They have the same interior room as a Super Cub but their trim system sucks and they have that heavy and expensive constant speed prop hanging out front. The Husky meets all the criteria for a working or bush airplane in which a premium is placed on short-field capability and ruggedness at the expense of speed creature comfort and snappy handling.

So in 1985 they designed their own bush plane from scratch and named it the Husky. 3212011 A good Husky pilot like George or Charlie who post here can make a Husky do great things. To a bush pilot who has landed on soft rough or sloped terrain 500 pounds more empty weight makes ground handling considerably more.

The Husky airframe is much stronger than the stock Supercub and the controls feel slightly heavier. George I agree the AOSS and extended gear slow it down quite bit but sure makes it nice landings and is far stronger than the stock Husky gear. For years if you were in the market for a new Part 23 backcountry taildragger Aviats Husky was one of a small handful of options a buyer had.

10242006 I have owned my Aviat Husky A-1B since Jun 05. 12252016 The Husky is a wonderful do anything small taildragger but it will never compare to a sub 1000 pound Carbon Cub on the short and rough stuff. That is until Aviat came to the rescue of this type of aircraft.

The Aviat Husky is a tandem two-seat high-wing utility light aircraft built by Aviat Aircraft of Afton Wyoming. It may look like one but its mission dictated its look while modern technology dictated its. Designer of the Christen Eagle his Christen Industries manufactured both Eagle and Pitts aircraft but aerobatic airplane sales were slow.
