I think it's a case of
cruise speed means different things to different people
it's supposed to be a low speed observation aircraft..
so cruise speed is meant for long loiter, low noise, low speed, low fuel consumption

Where as other aircraft cruise speed is meant to get somewhere in reasonable speed at best possible fuel consumption ?



could also be a Wiki mistake, because in the article it's listed as loiter speed of 81 mph
and in the specs it's called cruise speed , for same speed indicated
