Description
Check out the new ShockDawg! Shock-absorbing landing gear and an extra 50 lbs. of useful load- GTOW now 2250 lbs.
The most revolutionary change to the Husky in many years- actual automotive-type shock absorbers are now integrated into the main landing gear. By slowing compression and dramatically reducing rebound force, the Husky now makes super smoooooth landings on all surfaces- rough fields, pavement and everything in between. GET THE BOUNCE OUT
Other new features include a 50 lb. GTOW to 2250 lbs, giving a typical 180HP Husky a useful load of almost 900 lbs. Also available for the 2013 model year is the Garmin 796 VFR panel, one with a electronic AI and MVP50, the other with standard engine instrumentation and no AI. The Garmin GTN750 is now available in the G500/G600 panels as well. Ask about new ADS-B options that are now or will soon be available- get free weather, TIS and ADS-B traffic.

McCreery Aviation has been a Husky dealer since 2002- longer than any other anywhere. We started with Texas to see if it was all it was supposed to be- and it was! Aviat expanded our territory to Oklahoma and Louisiana in 2005 and again in 2007 to include Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi. In 2011 we were awarded Georgia and Missouri and for 2012, Florida! Over the years we’ve delivered new and used Huskys to happy owners throughout the United States and Europe. McCreery Aviation is a Husky Service Center (along with Cessna, Pilatus and Cirrus) and also offers a full-service avionics shop for after-sale installations.
We work closely with IFR Flight Training based at Georgetown Texas for Husky transition and tailwheel endorsements. Contact Mark Wilson at (512) 252-2211. We want to make sure that flying your new Husky is nothing but fun!
If you really want to know about the Husky, ask the man who owns one. Many owners have another aircraft in addition to their Husky- often a fast single- or twin-engine piston, turboprop or jet that they fly themselves. We're very proud of the fact that so many would rather fly their Husky than their “go-fast” airplane! Planning a trip to western Wyoming in the near future? Give Aviat a call well ahead of time and make an appointment for a factory tour. They are in the town of Afton, about 70 miles south of Jackson Hole. If you’re flying yourself, Afton (KAFO) has a great airport with a 7000 ft. runway and GPS approaches from north and south.
I'm Jim Taylor and been with McCreery Aviation since 1994 as Sales Manager. I am personally responsible for all aspects of your Husky ownership experience, from getting the preliminary information to you to making that first flight where you'll see all the things that make a Husky a Husky from the front seat. We’ll put together the right combination of options and avionics to make the airplane truly yours. The most fun and final step is meet at the factory and where you'll get you comfortable in your new airplane- we'll fly home with you or to wherever your checkout will take place.
Thanks for your interest and I hope to hear from you soon!

Props
Prop Notes
• Standard 76” Hartzell Constant-Speed with painted or optional Polished Spinner (180HP only).
• Optional Hartzell 80” “Top Prop” with internal counterbalance for smooth operation and Polished Spinner (std prop on the 200HP Husky).

Modifications/Conversions
Modifications/Conversions
• Many Husky owners want to look into float flying with their airplanes. From owners and experienced seaplane pilots input, we can tell you there is NO current production airplane that can do what a Husky can do on (or off) the water. Wipline and PK Floats both offer aluminum floats for the Husky A-1C. Both now has a 2250 GTOW for all "New Wing" Huskys with just a paperwork upgrade.
Avionics
Avionics/Radios
IFR Packages available
• Garmin G600 or G500 w/EDM930 pkg- includes Garmin G600 or G500 display and associated components, IFR certified Garmin 430W (WAAS) Comm/Nav/GPS or the new Garmin GTN750 Comm/Nav/GPS, Garmin 327 transponder, Garmin 340 Audio Panel/Mkr Bcn/Intercom, 2” standby electric Horizon, altimeter and airspeed indicators, JPI’s EDM930 color engine monitor, music input jack, altitude reporter, aux power jacks, digital OAT. We recommend the G500 for the Husky as the only operational difference between the G500 and G600 is that Synthetic Vision is standard in the G600 and optional in the G500, but can be added for way less $ than the price difference between the two units.
• Garmin 530W package/MVP-50 pkg- includes a Gyro 6-pack with an IFR certified Garmin 530W (WAAS) Comm/Nav/GPS with GI106A Indicator unit, Garmin 327 transponder, Garmin 340 Audio Panel/Mkr Bcn/Intercom, Vacuum Horizon and DG, electric Turn and Bank, altimeter, airspeed and Instantaneous VSI gauges. Includes the new MVP-50 color engine monitor, music input jack, altitude reporter, aux power jacks, Hobbs meter, post lights, digital OAT, Quartz Chronometer. Perfect for those who want a little "Old School" for their new Husky.
• Garmin 430W package/MVP-50 pkg:
Same equipment as the 530W package above, substituting the 430W for the 530W.
VFR Packages available
• Garmin SL40 Comm and GTX327 txp, MVP-50 color engine monitor, altitude reporter, vacuum system, vacuum AI and DG, electric T&B, Instantaneous VSI, PM1000 II Intercom (Mono), music input jack, Airgizmo bracket for installing your Aera GPS (not included). This instrument panel is dimensionally identical to the 430W/530W IFR panel above, so it can later be modified to IFR if you should so desire.

• Add an Avidyne or Garmin Traffic Advisory System to any of the IFR systems for complete self-contained traffic coverage anywhere.
