VW Single Place Microlight Homebuilt

$NZD6500

Introducing a unique New Zealand Bird, the VW Single Place Microlight Homebuilt, expertly designed and built by James Lobet in Tokoroa. This aircraft has been meticulously crafted and is a true gem, perfect for those seeking an enjoyable flying experience. Located in Tokoroa, it features an efficient and reliable 1600 VW engine with a single port and dual carb, providing a balance of performance and fuel efficiency. The aircraft boasts a mixed analog and glass panel, comprehensive avionics including a MicroAir radio, and a Wingman Electronic Flight Instrument System for enhanced navigation and engine management. Its exceptional stats, such as a stall speed of approximately 27 knots and a climb rate of 900 fpm, position it as an admirable choice for both novice and experienced pilots. Despite sitting for 18 months after a thorough inspection and refit, it remains close to a 'jump in and fly' condition with plenty of extras included. With an empty weight of 470 lbs and a gross weight of 798 lbs, this microlight offers great visibility whether fully enclosed or flying with the doors open, reminiscent of the classic Cub. Extras include engine gaskets, filters, oil, two sets of wheels and tires, and stout Grove landing gear. As personal commitments keep the owner in the States, now is the time to acquire this remarkable aircraft, with the value of the parts alone exceeding the asking price.
