The Legend Cub is built closely along the lines of the original Piper Cub with modern materials, engines and instruments. The aircraft is a high-wing, tandem seat monoplane with conventional landing gear. The fuselage is constructed with welded steel tubing with doped Superflite aircraft fabric.[2]
In April 2015 the Super Legend design was further developed with the addition of a greater number of carbon fibre components, including doors, floorboards, the propeller spinner and the wingtip bows. Avionic upgrades include Garmin G3X avionics and a FreeFlight Systems 1201 WAAS GPS sensor, Trig Mode S and 1090ES ADS-B Out transponder.[3]

Diesel Engine
In July 2015, American Legend Aircraft and Superior Air Parts (makers of the Gemini engine) announced that the 100-horsepower Gemini turbo-charged diesel engine would be available in 2016 as an option throughout the American Legend product line. The engine burns widely available Jet A and/or diesel fuel; an important consideration as normal aviation 100LL gasoline is expensive or unavailable in many remote areas. Power, price and weight are said to be comparable to the existing Continental O-200 avgas engine, but with a 20% lower fuel burn.[4][5]

MOAC
The Mother of all Cubs model is a modification of the AL18 for back country flying and off-airport operations, with shock absorbing landing gear and a Continental Titan O-340 engine of 180 hp (134 kW). Introduced in July 2020, it features large flaps that deploy to 40°, leading-edge slats and square wingtips all intended to improve low-speed handling. The variant is available as a light-sport aircraft or homebuilt aircraft kit.[9]
