Acro Sport Inc is an aircraft manufacturer based in Hales Corners, Wisconsin that markets plans for homebuilt aircraft.


The company sold plans for the Acro Sport I and Acro Sport II aerobatic biplanes, but also owned the rights to a number of other designs, including the Nesmith Cougar, Pober Pixie, Pober Junior Ace, and Pober Super Ace. All except the Cougar are designs of Paul Poberezny. The company is not affiliated with either Poberezny or the Experimental Aircraft Association.


The Acrosport is a plans built aircraft to provide an aerobatic platform while maintaining  the polite manners necessary for cross country flying and safe landings. The Acrosport comes in single place and two place varieties. The pictures below illustrate some of the Acrosports that I've crossed paths with.


Acro Sport Ace Junior Ace



The Ace Junior Ace was designed by Orland Corben as a two-seat sports aircraft and was marketed by the Ace Aircraft Manufacturing Company during the early 1930s for home building.


Acro Sport I



The Acro Sport was developed by Paul Poberezny during the early 1970s for homebuilding and manufactured by Acro Sport Inc. It is a single-seat short-span aerobatic sportsplane powered by a single Lycoming O-360 engine and designed with an open cockpit and spatted main landing gear.


Acro Sport II



The Acro Sport II is developed by Paul Poberezny in the 1970s as a two-seat aerobatic sportsplane for amateur construction. It is a two-place larger variant of its predecessor, single-place Acro Sport I. The aircraft is designed to be fitted with Lycoming engines rated at 115 to 200 horsepower.

The Nesmith Cougar was designed by Robert Nesmith in the mid-1950s as a light aircraft marketed for homebuilding. It featured wide short high-wings and a single piece steel tube undercarriage. The aircraft has a maximum speed of up to 170 knots and a travel range of 650 nautical miles.
