Hi Dogger - As the sprawling complex that is SPA Headquarters is firmly located at Haller Airpark which boasts a single 2600' turf runway, I think you can be assured that the Cougar will be capable of operating from grass strips. The Panther already does, and I have had the pleasure of watching Dan do a demo flight off that grass runway at Haller. - Chris

I noticed reading that the cougar is going to be 725 to 850 with 1320 gross weight. Is this the lsa version and the sport version have a heavier gross or is it stuck at 1320 even for the non lsa. I'm curious as I'm a heavy guy and it would limit my passenger weight a good bit.
my other question is will the panther and cougar be able to take off from grass runways or unimproved runways at all?Or is it strictly good asphalt runways. I am only referencing to the tail wheel versions.
thanks

Customer demand will drive the engine options for the Cougar, but the 0-360 should be a good choice for the big cat. More info to come soon.

Yes - the Cougar will be a two place, tandem, gentleman's aerobatic version of the Panther.

Very excited to hear the Cougar is on the way. I am hoping it will be able to do sportsman type aero's two up and still remain affordable. The Cougar has the potential to revolutionise sport aerobatics and open the sport up to many more pilots who would otherwise have said the right aircraft for sport aerobatics is just not affordable. The traditional two seat aerobatic mainly TC aircraft are just too expensive to operate, at least where I live in South Africa.
