| POBER SUPER ACE |
| The Super Ace is constructed of basic materials, 4130 steel tubing for the fuselage, tail group, landing gear,
fittings and wing struts. The wings are spruce spars and the wing ribs of spruce cap strips. The complete aircraft
is covered with the PolyFiber covering materials. The wheels are 600x6 with hydraulic toe brakes. The control
system is cable operated. The Proto type Super Ace is powered by a Continental C-85-8 engine of 85 hp. It does
not have a starter or an electrical system. Power plants of up to 150 hp can be used; however, weight and
balance considerations must be given to maintain the same engine and cowling lines and to keep the airplane's
proportions. Wight has been added to the engine as it does not have a starter, generator or battery, which when
using a Lycoming 108 - 150 hp with starter, generator or battery would then permit the same engine mount
dimensions as the prototype has. The continental engine swings a Sensenich prop, which give a cruise speed of
some 90 mph. The stall characteristics are gentle and straight forward. The coil springs munted in tubes provide
a soft landing and the wide landing gear adds to the ease of ground handling and a reasonable crosswind
landing. Construction Drawings available from:
