SST to Arrow Conversion Update

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. Tubes and hardware are inspected and replaced where necessary. A brand new Arrow sail is added to the airframe. Once completed the wing looks as new. 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 …

The Ultimate Trike

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 …

Arrows in Hawaii

Just in from Gerry Charlibois in Hawaii, and we didn’t ask him to write any of this. It is slightly edited as other manufacturers were mentioned and prefer not to go down that path of comparing.
>>>>Kuddos to the AirBorne Team
We have logged 20 hrs each on our 2 new Arrow wings on our XT-912’s. I want to thank the AirBorne team for coming up with the best trike wing I have ever flown. I feel like I am flying a hang glider again. Starting with the take off in our constant 25 degree crosswind of 15mph, this wing …
