Yakima Aerosport Super Breezy
Until 1965, if you wanted to have fun flying, you found an old Cub or Champ and took to the sky. Airport coffee shops were well attended on weekends. A few pilots (who did mostly corporate flying) decided that there had to be some way to have more fun flying. Most private pilots were happy just to log a few hours every weekend, but three pilots from the Chicago area (Charles Roloff, Carl Unger, and Bob Liposky) had something more extreme in mind when they invented the Breezy.
A friend of theirs had a pair of wings from a crashed Piper PA-12. They scrounged an empennage and a nose wheel fork from elsewhere. Unger was an expert welder, and with what can be compared to a life-sized erector set, they set about building an airframe to bring everything together.
With the money saved by salvaging used parts, they bought a new C90 with a special pusher crank and bolted it behind the wing. The airframe was a simple truss, uncomplicated by the need to enclose the passengers and systems. Everything bolted to the outside, and the pilot perched on the nose.
They flew their creation all over the mid-west, having a blast and raising eyebrows everywhere they went. Someone asked them if it was a little breezy sitting out in the open, and the name "Breezy" stuck.
At the 1965 Rockford EAA fly-in they introduced the aircraft to the public. The Breezy spent the entire weekend giving rides to enthusiastic passengers.
Upon returning from the fly-in, they were shocked by the volume of mail they received asking for plans from which to build a Breezy. They hadn't drawn any plans during construction, so they reverse-engineered a set. Since then they have sold over 1,000 copies of the simple drawings.
The Breezy had exceptional performance for its power, but some thought that it could be improved. Enter Yakima Aerosport. They were in the process building a highly modified Piper Super Cub with the Dakota Cub slotted wing. It made a huge improvement in the STOL performance, so it was only natural to assume that it would do the same for a "Super Breezy."
Equipped with a 200HP IO-360 engine, the Super Breezy has STOL performance comparable to a Super Cub which is something never accomplished in a breezy aircraft. The Super Breezy is piloted from the back seat allowing the passenger to sit up front and enjoy an impressive panoramic view of the sky and earth.
The Super Breezy is a "cousin" to the Piper Super Cub and is built by Yakima Aerosport in Yakima, Washington. They have the innovation and expertise to work on any aircraft that can get to the front of their hangar located on McAllister Field at the Yakima Airport. They service general aviation and experimental, but specialize in Super Cubs.
