The SportCruiser has been making waves in the light aircraft world thanks to its outstanding performance, great range and excellent value for money - Flyer magazine’s review says it all: “...it has lots of room, great visibility, good short-field performance and a decent turn of speed in the cruise.”
This ultralight two-seater comes in ten variants with three different panel options - the Dynon glass panel featuring a Dynon EFIS-D100, Dynon EMS-D120 and AP74 autopilot, an analogue 6 pack panel featuring the standard six primary instruments as well as a Garmin GPS unit and a Garmin CDI-106, and a Basic VFR panel with an airspeed indicator, altimeter and turn co-ordinator.
The animations include the BRS (Ballistic Recovery System) - if you ever get into real trouble in the air, you can trigger a rocket in the fuselage which will deploy a parachute to get you safely back to terra firma! A full PDF manual complete with flight tutorial is included.
