Flying Legend Tucano Replica

The Flying Legend Tucano Replica (Toucan) is an Italian light-sport aircraft, designed and produced by Flying Legend of Caltagirone and introduced at the AERO Friedrichshafen show in 2011. The aircraft is supplied as a kit for amateur construction or as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft.

Flying Legend is a collaborative project between MGA and Barum.

Design and development
The Tucano Replica is scale replica of the 1980s vintage Embraer EMB 312 Tucano turboprop trainer and features a cantilever low-wing, a two-seats-in-tandem enclosed cockpit under a bubble canopy, retractable tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration. A fixed gear model has been developed for the US light sport aircraft market.

The aircraft is made from 2024-T3 aluminum and 6061-T6 aluminum sheet. Its 8.41 m span wing has an area of 10.0 m2 and is equipped with flaps. Standard engines available are the 100 hp Rotax 912ULS four-stroke powerplant, with the 115 hp Rotax 914, 141 hp Rotax 915 and 125 hp D-Motor LF39 optional.

Variants
An experimental military version known as the TP-75 Dulus was acquired by the Dominican Republic in 2023.
