two people, and a light wind in less than 300 feet, with a
climb rate of 800 feet per minute." Cruise comes in at
around 95 mph. with a fuel burn close to 5 gallons per hour.
Range with fuel on board is approximately 300 miles.
Controls are standard stick
and rudder with dual stick, rudder pedals and throttles.
Electric flaps, trim,
and hydraulic brakes are standard. Options available include
various additional avionics, paint, interior packages and a
BRS parachute system.
The factory has recently
moved into a new $10,000,000 facility and production is
expected to be up to 20 aircraft per month by mid 2006.
Currently delivery times on aircraft are 4 to 6 months. To
date the factory has delivered over 300 aircraft to
customers world wide, with 4 of those flying in the U.S. |
