FA 02 Smaragd Experimental VLA
The Smaragd experimental 49% with 9 m wingspan, 100 hp and up to 300 kg payload. That translates to high range and cruising speed. Factory assisted building is possible while spending the nights in our hostel. It is pretty interesting that our experimental fleet is consisting of regular cruisers as well as some airborne sensing project and UAV's.
The Rotax engine is well known for reliable and economic fuel conversion. The advantage for you: high range in the area of 1,400-1,600 km at low fuel consumption and high speeds.
