1986 Thruster Gemini Ultralight
$AUD6,000
Offered for sale is a 1986 Thruster Gemini ultralight aircraft, a factory-built model well-suited for both flight training and recreational flying. It is powered by a Rotax 532 engine, coupled with a high-performance IVO 3-blade composite propeller. This aircraft stands out due to its recent upgrades—newly fabricated wing and tail skins by Wayne Fisher Aviation, with less than 5 hours of flight time since installation. Always stored in a hangar, the airframe has been well-preserved, and the fuselage remains in excellent condition. Additionally, extra sailcloth material is included, supplied by Wayne Fisher, to optionally replace the skin behind the cockpit for long-term upkeep.
This aircraft comes equipped with a functional Avcom radio, intercom system, and two headsets, ensuring smooth in-flight communication. Other practical features include long-range alloy fuel tanks, a new windscreen, and removable doors—ideal for open-air experiences. For buyers seeking extra value, the original Rotax 503 engine and a Catto wooden propeller are available as a bonus package for A$1,500.
Please note that the aircraft is not currently registered and has been in storage since 2013, making it a promising opportunity for restoration, flight school use, or ultralight enthusiasts ready to bring it back into the skies.
