Aviat Husky A-1C-180

Overview

• The new Aviat Husky A–1C contains a laundry list of seemingly small changes that, when taken together, significantly improve the experience of flying the stalwart backcountry aircraft. The biggest alteration replaces the airplane’s bungee elevator trim system with a more traditional tab. The result is a lighter elevator touch that better matches the ailerons for a more harmonized control feel. Other welcome changes have to do with the front seat. It tilts forward, which makes climbing in and out of the back seat far simpler and less gymnastic. The seat also slides fore and aft, and it can tilt and move simultaneously. The improvements can accommodate much taller pilots. Husky seats used to be fixed in place; the only way to alter the seating position was to change to thinner or thicker cushions.
