The Australian dollar has fallen against some of the major currencies. For some overseas customers particulary from the USA this represents a discount on our pricing of around 10 pecent. On top of this we are offereing special insentives to overseas buyers to puchase any of our range of microlights over the month of July and August. Contact you local dealer or the factory for more information.
William Olive known to his mates and others as Billo has been a consistant visitor to the Gulf of Carpentaria. The attraction to this remote area at the top end of Australia has mainly been the incredible wave cloud phenomena named the “Morning Glory”. The series of roll clouds form when moisture from onshore seabreezes is evident. The rolling wave can be up to 1000 kms(620mi) long. The wave continues it’s journey inland producing lift in front of the cloud. This lift allows pilot’s of all sorts of aircraft the opportunity to “surf” the cloud for miles inland until it …

We have completed six conversions on customers SST wings this year. We update the airframe, the rears are shorter as the Arrow has less span than the SST.

It is then off to our airfield for the test fly and fine tuning.
The Arrow is getting great reviews both for new and upgraded wings. We have more SST’s arriving early next year for upgrades and expect more owners to take this option. Have a …
Whether it’s the V-Lite with the F2T wing or the T-Lite with the higher performance Core wing it would be difficult to find a better handling trike. Both machines powered either by the Polini two stoke or the Bailey four stoke engine are a dream to fly. They are also good fun to soar with the engine off in thermal lift.
Famous Australian aviator and avid microlight pilot Dick Smith has been on our case to build him an electric powered V-Lite. We have slowly been researching the viability of the project and you may well see an electric version …
