Pober Super Ace Explained

The Pober Super Ace was a single-seat sports aircraft designed as a homebuilt aircraft by Orland Corben in 1935. Originally the "Corben Super Ace,"[1] it was an evolution of the Corben Baby Ace, and closely linked with it throughout their existence.[2]

It was a single-seat parasol wing monoplane of conventional tailwheel configuration. As published, the plans called for an engine from a Ford Model A (some say Ford Model B) to be modified to power the aircraft.

A set of plans and construction articles appeared in Popular Aviation between April and October 1935 and were later marketed by Orland Corben.

Rights to the aircraft were sold to Paul Poberezny with the rest of the Corben company's assets. Plans are offered for sale by Acro Sport.
