Luscombe Aircraft Corporation in Altus, Oklahoma was awarded an amended type certificate to reintroduce the classic Luscombe 11A “Sedan.” The new aircraft, now the Luscombe 11E, is a 4-place, single engine, high wing, aircraft with new tricycle landing gear, a more powerful fuel injected engine, and modern avionics. A memo issued by the FAA after testing the 11E stated, “In spite of exhaustive attempts, it has not been possible to cause the airplane to enter a spin condition.”
