Would anybody care to add to the
design criteria:
Side by side seating Sinus, 2 seats side-by-side, full dual
controls
Self launching No problem there !!
Inexpensive, both capital cost and operating cost. Using
10.2 lph for 115 knot cruise, $95K to $120K depending on engine and fitout
Available as complete aircraft or kit construction. Sorry - factory built - type certified only. 6 month delivery.
Minimum 30/1 glide angle and a rate of climb under power greater than 500ft/min.
29.8:1..... so close to 30:1, climb at MTOW on a bad
day +800 fpm, mostly +1200 fpm
Optional engine to allow use as glider tug. Rotax 80hp
maybe 100 hp as tug
Good handling qualities. Current world Microlight champion,
wings used on Albastar Apis which has about 15 world records in the 15m Ultralight
glider class
Must present to student as a glider, rather than a powerplane with long wings.
Looks like a "Real" glider except for the high wing
(but you soon get used to that), full controls, negative flap spoilers etc....
Safety capsule surrounding cockpit. Complete carbon
and plastic construction, strong in the cabin, engine out the front, not
behind your head.

Sounds like a blatent add, but you asked for everything in your dream plane
and its exactly what we sell.
Thanks Michael Coates
