Classic Aero Enterprises H3 Pegasus single place light sport eligible aircraft.

The H-3 is also a tube and fabric-covered sportplane with construction methods comparable to the H-2 biplane.

However, instead of strut- and cable-bracing, the H-3 features a cantilevered wing with a design G-load of +5 to -3.

It first flew with an engine of 28 horsepower, but normally is built with engines in the 40 to 50 horsepower range now. The clean configuration gives it a very impressive cruise speed compared to other very light aircraft.

The design won first place awards in its category at the EAA Sun 'n Fun Fly-in at Lakeland, Florida in both 1989 and 1990.

The designer developed a warbird variant of the H-3 in 1993, based on the P-40 Warhawk of "Flying Tiger" fame. It was designated HP-40, but is not offered now as a separate set of plans. However, H-3 builders who wish to opt for this variant can receive supplemental drawings to enable them to make the minor changes.

One of those, the substitution of tube and fabric wing tips in place of fiberglass tips on the H-3, is an option that many builders choose for the standard H-3.
