About the Legacy FG

The Lancair Intl LEGACY FG is an American fixed-wing, homebuilt aircraft designed to seat two occupants. This low-wing composite monoplane features a single engine in a tractor configuration and a side-by-side enclosed cockpit beneath a bubble canopy, making it well-suited for amateur builders and sport pilots seeking efficient personal transportation.

Originally conceived as an updated variant of an earlier model, this aircraft was offered in kit form. The airframe utilizes vacuum-formed composite sandwiches and specialized airfoil sections along its wing. Throughout its manufacturing lifespan, examples of the design secured multiple awards at major aviation gatherings. Production of the kits eventually ceased before the design rights changed hands for ongoing manufacture.
