Legend Aircraft has selected the Superior Air Parts Gemini diesel engine as a factory option for the Legend Cub light sport aircraft. The 100-hp diesel engine will be available for both the wheel- and float-equipped factory-built Legend Cubs as well as the kit-built version. Pricing for the diesel option has not been set yet, but should be roughly comparable to other engine options, according to Legend Aircraft president Darin Hart. The diesel engine fits into the same cowling on the Legend Cub, so not modifications to the cowl will be needed.
