Ace Aircraft, Inc. - Corben Story

~~~The Corben Story~~~

O.G. "Ace" Corben designed and marketed the first homebuilt aircraft kit beginning in 1923; the famous "Baby Ace"; followed by the "Jr. Ace," the "Cabin Ace" and the beautiful "Super Ace!"

The Corben Aces have endured the tests of time thanks to successors like Paul Poberezny, Cliff DuCharne, Thurman Baird, Denny Meadows and others who have modernized and refined the designs over the years. These aircraft are still being built, flown and admired by those who find the past as exciting as the designs and materials of the present!

Now, thanks to the new "Sport Pilot" and "Light Sport Aircraft" Initiative (ELSA & SLSA), these fine modernized aircraft can be factory-built, then flown by pilots with a valid drivers license as medical certification!

Bill Wood, the owner of the Ace Aircraft Company, pledges his effort to revitalize the excitement surrounding the Corben legacy. The factory is located at Toccoa Georgia Airport (KTOC) in the Foothills of the Great Smokey Mountains! Stop by any Saturday for coffee, donuts, and some of the greatest hanger flying anywhere! Re-uniting Corben Ace builders, pilots, and dreamers will be an annual undertaking at the factory sponsored Corben Ace Fly-in. Contact us to get on our mailing list for more info.
