Patriot light sport aircraft, experimental lightsport, amateur built aircraft.

Several years ago at Sun N Fun, and then Airventure I saw a plane in the prototype stage called the Patriot designed American Patriot Aircraft.

The plane was a a little rough around the edges, but this was to be expected in a first prototype.

This year at Airventure 2010 all the rough edges had been ground away and the factory had on display a plane that was just about ready to begin the production process.

 
The new unit has more horsepower and weighs less than the original prototype. While the tail section still features a twin boom arrangement with dual rudders, the booms have been replaced with aluminum channels rather than tubes. The Patriot is equipped with full span flaperons which give it excellent slow speed performance and control, these can also be reflexed to give a better cruise speed.

The Patriot's nose has been redesigned and is longer and rounder for better visibility and pilot comfort. The Patriot features a welded fuselage, covered with a rivet together aluminum skin. Power is supplied by a Subaru E81A which has been modified to produce 140 hp. Which gives the Patriot a 110 to 115 mph cruise.

It has side by side seating, with twin control yokes using push pull tubes. Kit production is expected to being in the fall of 2010.

Patriot is currently being offered in kit form, with plans to move forward with LSA certification in the near future. Kit price minus engine and instruments is $24,000.00
