	Airliners.net: Luscombe Spartan
		The Spartan is a modern tricycle reincarnation of the late 1940s Luscombe 11A Sedan.
		A family of Spartan models is envisaged, including a 185 with a constant speed prop, the higher performance 157kW (210hp) IO-360 powered Spartan 210 and a turbocharged variant.
		The Luscombe 8 Silvaire was a highly successful two seat high wing light aircraft built in the years surrounding World War 2.

	Luscombe Aircraft Corp. Announces Spartan 185 Model 11E
		The public is invited to attend the inaugural first flight of the Luscombe Spartan 185 at 4 p.m.
		The re-entry of the Luscombe aircraft is due largely to federal legislation that passed the tort reform laws in 1995, lifting the burden of liability lawsuits that had skyrocketed liability insurance and ceased the manufacturing of small propeller planes in the mid-1980s.
		The Luscombe aircraft was originally developed in the 1930s by founder Don Luscombe, with aircraft built between 1935 and 1961, and nearly 3,000 still flying today.

	Lucombe, 150 hp Pilot Report
		There was this Don Luscombe fellow that insisted on building those marvelous little two-place high-wing machines that borrowed heavily on the mystique and the materials of the big boys.
		The first metal midget to bear the Luscombe name was the almost-extinct, but still-legendary, Phantom which had lines and a round engine which made it look like a Lockheed Vega that had been run through the fast-dry cycle and shrunk two sizes.
		Luscombes have never been known to have slippery, super-quick ailerons but those on Gene's airplane were a little heavier than normal.

		In the third period, it was the Spartans again who came out of the locker room on fire as they controlled the majority of the game after they scored a minute into the period.
		The Spartans came into the game with numerous fans in the seats, and were silenced as the Buckeyes got onto the board first in the first period.
		The Spartans were definitely not to fond of that idea, and Dave Hanley made it a 5-4 lead right before the third period had expired.

		Comments: The JetStar represents an earlier age in bizjet design, but is still a viable corporate aircraft today, notable for being one of only a few types with four rear-mounted engines.
		Comments: Based on the Luscombe 11A, the Spartan recently went into production, offers a max cruise speed of 130 knots, and lands at 50 knots.
		The pleasant handling and crisp paint scheme are perfect for a carefree sightseeing flight.

	BUSINESS: Las Vegas group revives classic Luscombe planes
		The propeller-driven, four-seater Luscombe Spartan will enter the market with the benefit of a 1995 federal law that should make the manufacture of general aviation aircraft more profitable, according to Luscombe executives.
		Bill McKown, chairman of Luscombe Aircraft, said he and a group of Las Vegas-based investors have spent more than $3.5 million retooling the old Luscombe with modern technology and going through the Federal Aviation Administration's approval process to take advantage of the new business environment for aircraft makers.
		He became aware of the Luscombe aircraft design when Americon was hired to build a factory for another group who wanted to bring back the Luscombe.

		The Spartan is one of those airplanes that has haunted me almost from the very beginning of my long love affair with flying.
		He had owned the same Spartan Executive for 34 years, and it was rumored to have been nearly perfect to begin with, but Jacobs had spent 17 years restoring it and then flew it only a very few hours.
		What we didn't know, however, was that during a meeting on the night before, the museum's board of directors had voted to sell the Spartan because it no longer fit their goals as a predominantly military museum.

	Press Release 030101
		For those who may have been living on Mars over the last couple of years, the new Luscombe “Spartan 185” Model 11E is an updated version of the original late-40s Luscombe 11A “Sedan,” sporting a new tricycle landing gear, Continental IO-360-ES engine derated to 185 hp, an updated instrument panel, and other modifications.
		John has no illusions about “telling the FAA how it is going to be.” His approach is to take certification programs in small, well-defined “bites.” In fact, had he been in charge at the time, the Luscombe Spartan would first have been re-certified with the original conventional landing gear.
		Market-wise, the Luscombe Spartan 185 is positioned between the Cessna 172 and 182.

	Avoid the Tax Bite of the AMT
		As Luscombe suggests, the AMT is actually a second tax system that is applicable only if the "tentative minimum tax" exceeds the taxpayer's "regular tax." Essentially, determining AMT liability requires that taxes be calculated first using standard tax rules and then by using the AMT rules incorporated within IRS Form 6251.
		According to CCH's Luscombe, the current exemptions under EGTRRA and JAGTRRA were implemented to give Congress time to makes changes to the AMT system.
		Check out Spartan Tax-Free Bond Fund (FTABX) and Fidelity Tax-Free Money Market Fund (FMOXX)*, which limit their investments in municipal securities that generate interest income subject to the alternative minimum tax.

	Luscombe History
		When Luscombe went bankrupt in 1948, its assets were acquired by TEMCO, who produced a number of 8Fs in 1950-51.
		This conversion project was first considered by Luscombe engineers at TEMCO in 1950, but it was not until 1999 that a flying 8E prototype was constructed by the DLAHF in Chandler AZ [N2638K].
		John Swick, in The Luscombe Story, claims the prototype was later destroyed in a windstorm, while DLHAF reports that the aircraft and all data were destroyed for tax purposes.
