One of the many designs to come from the drawing board
of EAA’s founding President, Paul H. Poberezny, the Super Ace,
is an ideal project for first time builders. It offers the excitement
of open cockpit flying and excellent performance. With options for 85
hp to 150 hp, the Super Ace can meet a wide range of desires. The fuselage
is a traditional 4130 steel tube frame that’s covered with Stits
Poly-fiber. The two-piece wing is made of Sitka spruce spars, ribs formed
with 1/2” x 1/2” spruce caps and covering is again Stits
Poly-fiber. Wing span is 27’-3 1/2”, length is 18’5” and
empty weight is 685 pounds with a useful load factor of 385 pounds. Using
a C-85 on the prototype, cruise speed is 90 mph. Info packs on the Pober
Super Ace are $8.00, plans are $125.00 and can be ordered through Acro
