[1][2] After Prue fielded the Standard in 1961 he quickly set about improving the design based on initial experience.
Other changes included a two-piece canopy, a fuselage with less height, trailing edge dive brakes and the use of a different airfoil.
Despite the improvements, the Super's glider ratio and minimum sink rates are identical to the Standard's.
[1][2] Prue pursued Federal Aviation Administration aircraft type certification for the Super Standard in anticipation of series production.
