1. Where can I fly it?
Anywhere in Australia
with some restrictions depending on what category it is built and
what type
of registration it has. The most likely restriction would be that
you could
not fly into major controlled airspace, ie most major cites. You can
fly to
a 10,000 ft ceiling. Overseas conditions will depend on your
particular country.
2. How can I learn to fly?
Any local flying school that has a training aircraft of similar
style and
category, e.g. three axis control and an enclosed cockpit. Training
for an Ultralight License in Australia is 20 hours at A$130 p/hr.
This training also counts toward a full private pilots license.
3. If I order one, what is the
delivery lead time?
At present it is about 3 months, however, this can change at any
time and
pre paid orders get priority.
4. What range ?
This depends on how it is set up, but the Single is 4.5 hrs in the
air with
10% reserve on 54 litres, the
Twin would be more due to the 90 liter tanks
but these figures will vary dependant on what
engine is fitted.
5. What support do I get while
building it?
As an Australian designed and manufactured plane, in Australia,
you have the major benefit that help is only a local toll free phone
call
away direct to the manufacturers and in the same time zone. A very
detailed assembly manual comes
with the kit and other builders love to help.
6. What speed am I allowed to fly at?
This aircraft is limited to a cruise of 100 knots airspeed and 130
knots
VNE which gives it a wide
margin of safety.
7. What luggage can I carry?
Up to 20 kg behind the seat area. A cargo pod will be designed later
to fit under the pilots seat area which will
be able to carry bulky items. This will be an
option.
8. What inspections are required as I
build it?
Usually only requires one formal inspection and a weight and
balance.
9. Can I sell my Supapup or Aeropup by advertising on the Aeropup.com website ?
Yes and there is no charge, just send in all relevent information
