Our Aircraft are the Toughest on the Planet

The cabin is protected by an extensive welded 4130 steel tube roll cage. Surrounding the steel frame are carbon fiber skins and doors. The 1" to 1.5" thick steel frame provides not only an unparalleled safety element, but is the foundation of the aircraft's rugged design. Our one-piece, high-lift cantilever wing, our engine mount, semi-monocoque tail and more importantly our rugged landing gear are bolted directly onto the steel frame. Our gear is designed specifically for backcountry flying, so you can take it "off-road" if you choose to do so.
