Club n�149

This aircraft is new, with only 20h of test flights and demo flights done on it. It is fitted with the reliable and economical Rotax 912UL 80hp (TSN:300h) with carburetor heat, fitted using the Rotax 914 installation so as to increase the propeller’s ground clearance (Purpose built 2 blade fixed pitch). It is comprehensively equipped with modern avionics, to make it the dream cross-country microlight/E-LSA (microlight in NZ, E-LSA in Australia). This aircraft is in new and priced to sell quickly. It is currently based at the factory in France and will be delivered to its new owner either by ferry flight or sea freight depending on the destination country.

FAQs

1°) The description indicates the aircraft has only 20 hours, yet the engine has 300 hours. Why is this?

The construction of the aircraft began few years ago by an owner who never finished it. The kit of the plane remained for a very long time on a building with no one working on it, until one day, a very good friend of us, ask us if there were a good pre-owned kit to finish somewhere. We found this plane for him, and after a thorough inspection of what had already been done, we completed the construction and made the test flights. The owner is now wishing to sell it because he really does not have time to fly it. The plane must now have around 30 hours. The engine is indeed a pre-owned one, I don’t know much about it, I only know that the previous owner had stopped using the plane it was on, and decided to sell just the engine. It has not been in an accident.

2°) Would it be possible to add long range tanks, or does this need to be done at time of manufacture?

It is true that if you want to have a wing fuel tanks, this must be done during the construction of the wings, depending if it is an ULC or a Club, the capacity could be between 50 to 65 litres per wing. It is then impossible to modify this on a pre-owned aircraft. But it is possible to add a ferry flight fuel tank, this fuel tank goes at the back of the passenger seat, it has a capacity of 40 Litres, it can be installed and removed in a few minutes. The downside of this fuel tank is that it reduces the luggage room. This fuel tank is an option, I do not know the exact price but I can look for it if you wish. I don’t know if you are familiar with Rotax engines, but in the case of the Rotax 912 (80hp), the cruise fuel consumption is around 16 Litres per hour, which gives 5 hours autonomy, meaning more than 1 000 km range with just the normal 80 litres tank flying at around 230 km/h. And if you decide to make an economic cruise, you fly at 190 km/h and use 12 litres per hour, and increase the range to 1 200 km... I don’t know what are your requirements, but it is already significant range.As for the Rotax 912S (100hp), these ranges must be slightly reduced. Adding the frry flight fuel tank, will give around 3 more hours of flight.

3°) What is the Club stall speed, with and without flaps?

The Club stall speed in a landing configuration is around 78 km/h with one person on board and full fuel. Without the flap, I’m not quite sure but I think it’s around 95km/h (to be checked).

4°) Can the canopy be tinted? Or must tinting happen during manufacture?

In the early days of dynaero, it was possible to choose a transparent canopy, or a tinted one. Now tinted canopy are standard, therefore this aircraft is fitted with a tinted one.
