218-820-2298 It is refreshing to
see that even with the introduction of the new Light Sport
Aircraft Category, some manufacturers will still be
supplying legal Part 103 ultralight aircraft to U.S.
customers.
Robbins Enterprises of Staples MN
introduced three new designs at Airventure. Two of these the
R 7 and R 8 can be built as legal ultralights, or new sport
aircraft. |

The third model the R 8 can
only be offered in the Experimental or Light Sport Category
because of it's weight and speed.
All three aircraft are
developed from the same building concept, a concept that has
been used in the gyrocopter industry for years, that is the
use of square aluminum tubing bolted together. This coupled
with a Bi-Plane design provides a strong Part 103 U.S. legal
ultralight which is compact, light weight, and can
withstand higher loadings than a typical strut braced
monoplane design.
All three models are offered
in a standard kit format, or Quick Build, with the
ultralight versions available as pre-built ready to fly. In
kit format the planes should take 200 hours to build with no
jigging required. The plane is powered by a Rotax 447, 60
mph cruise, stall 30 without flaps, climb rate 700 feet per
minute. The planes have been built
since 2001, and the proto type has over 200 hours on it. |
