Having received acknowledgement by the FAA that our operations not only meet, but exceed, what is expected for the LSA industry is a statement to our ongoing commitment to serve customers with highest quality products. We appreciate and welcome FAA Team’s professional attitude and their approach to elevate the level of safety and compliance throughout the LSA industry by conducting such high-quality and stringent audits”.

I have over 2,000 hours and have been in sales my entire life. This would be a great bird to sell to those who are just starting their flying life!
