SPORTSMAN

The Most Versatile 4-Seat Single Piston

The Sportsman is the most versatile 4-seat single piston aircraft available. The Sportsman’s performance specifications compare favorably with other aircraft in the class that are priced several times higher. Yet, unlike the others, the Sportsman may be configured with either nose-wheel landing gear or rugged tailwheel gear. Thus, the Sportsman is unique, offering on-airport/off-airport operational capability. Cross-country or backcountry, the Sportsman will fulfill your mission.
