The TRAIL is designed for superior maneuverability, robustness and durability.
Experience its outstanding flying qualities with our Dealer and note the steel welded
frame, the full covering in light alloy, the sturdy landing gear and, above all, the
capability of folding the wing in less than two minutes completely by yourself.
Enjoy the freedom TRAIL allows in the sky and on the ground: no fabric or other
stuff suffering from sun exposure and humidity.
Fear for hail, sand dust or snow?: fold the wings and wrap the TRAIL with a simple
covering just like a car.
But TRAIL offers its best in flight: full turning capability without adverse yaw, safe
stall behavior, ever responsive to the controls and never sluggish.
You can choose two kit levels:
Level 1: All materials, but engine and instrumentation, included, the welded frame is
complete
Level 2: As level 1 but with wings already assembled (it does still fit the 51% rule)
Basic seats are included in both kit levels; finishing, stuffing and upholstery are at
your taste.
TRAIL offers you the max freedom in engine choice from 80Hp to 100Hp: all WV
derived flat fours (Sauer, AeroVee, etc.) Jabiru, Rotax. Any of them it comes with its
dedicated mounting truss and cowling.
It is possible to complete the aircraft with basic finishing, interiors and cockpit,
ready to fly, within 560 lbs (305 kg). Adding glossy finishing, more upholstery and
instrumentation, such as on our demonstrator, the empty weight is still at 595 lbs.
The luggage compartment, located aft of the rear set, has a displacement of 45 gals
and it is cleared for housing up to 50 lbs.
The overall weight in the cabin (luggage plus people) ranges between 440 and 470
lbs according with the empty weight.
Fuel tanks are located in the wings; their effective capacity is 36 US gallons able to
provide 9 hours of autonomy at best cruise speed (80 KCAS).
Max Take Off Weight is 1300 lbs.
