March 20, 2010 - NO price increases now = Spring Stimulus Sale ! - Murphy Aircraft
                       advised us yesterday that they will be absorbing the rapidly rising costs of
                       raw materials (approximately $3,500 on the Rebel series) and the huge
                       changes in currency values, instead of increasing prices.

                       They are giving customers a break in this tough economy, to make it
                        easier for them to pursue their dreams by building one of our kits.


                              NOW is the time to get your order in !

Sept./09 - Patterson AeroSales is pleased to Re-introduce the Murphy Rebel Sport ! 

                             Rebel Sport

                      The original Rebel design was a delightful Light Sport Aircraft, almost
                      20 years ago, well before the LSA category was introduced. Since many
                      people have forgotten, we are here to remind you that the Rebel Sport
                      is a great choice for an 'Experimental that meets LSA requirements'
                      homebuilt that will allow you all the pleasures of Sport Pilot flying.

                      The Rebel Sport is a fun flying, two seat STOL aircraft capable of
                      operating from wheels, floats, or skis, featuring all metal construction. 
                      Pre-formed and pre-punched parts make for easy, straightforward
                      construction, with no need for jigs. You are not limited to the preferred
                      80 or 100 hp. Rotax 912 engines, as the new lightweight Lycoming
                      O-233 and Continental O-200, and even older versions can be used,
                      with careful attention to weight.

                      Combining the looks of popular classics from the 1940’s with modern 
                      technology for performance and safety, the Rebel Sport offers Sport
                      Pilots and passengers rugged, roomy transportation.

                      Check out the Rebel Sport at: www.PattersonAeroSales.com
