A Quick Build Kit from the Get-Go
600 to 1,000+ hour construction time for a basic VFR plane.
Pre-preg and vacuum bag constructed kit
Includes ALL airframe parts and hardware for the Quick Build Kit — YES, the Retractable Landing Gear, MATCO wheels, 3 puck brakes & parking brake, and Michelin Air Tires & Leak Proof Tubes, ARE included [ engine ( firewall aft ), avionics, instruments, radios, prop, paint and 2 wing Pylons with 2 Pods are extra ].
Delivered in Primer Paint
Wings, winglets, canard, fuselage and strakes come to you complete in primer paint — including installed antennas — you just install flight controls, Instrument Panel, Firewall aft, and paint the aircraft.
Steerable Oleo Nose Strut
The steerable oleo nose strut with 11.5″ diameter Lamb type and size tire ( looks like a scaled down 5.00 x 5 tire ), retracts electro-hydraulically on deck ( separate from the main gear ) and sets the aircraft on it’s nose for really easy ingress and egress for the pilot and passenger(s) ( simply step into the cockpit like an Indy car ), and for VERY stable parking in high winds because of the low TOA.
Customization-ready
Fuselage and strakes arrive to you as a top and bottom pre-molded tub in primer paint, wire and plumbing conduits, and heat ducts, are already installed in the fuselage walls and floor. Just install pre-molded bulkheads, baffles, ribs, completed Instrument Panel, and Firewall aft. Then paint to complete aircraft.
Custom Instrument Panels
Basic VFR, basic IFR, and custom instrument panels, will be available.
