In the past they were imported in the U.S. and built under the experimental 51% kit rule. Now with the implementation of the light sport aircraft program the planes will be certified by mid summer 2006 and will then available as ready to fly aircraft. The kit uses aluminum bolt and rivet together construction in both the wings and fuselage. The fuselage is then surrounded with a glass enclosure for added strength, aerodynamics and looks. The wings and tail surfaces are covered in conventional aircraft fabric. Power is being supplied by the Rotax 912 S 100 HP 4 cylinder Rotax engine. According the John Hunter "the Jet Fox Amphib can get off the water with two people, and a light wind in less than 300 feet, with a climb rate of 800 feet per minute." Cruise comes in at around 95 mph. with a fuel burn close to 5 gallons per hour. Range with fuel on board is approximately 300 miles. Controls are standard stick and rudder with dual stick, rudder pedals and throttles. Electric flaps, trim, and hydraulic brakes are standard. Options available include various additional avionics, paint, interior packages and a BRS parachute system. The factory has recently moved into a new $10,000,000 facility and production is expected to be up to 20 aircraft per month by mid 2006. Currently delivery times on aircraft are 4 to 6 months. To date the factory has delivered over 300 aircraft to customers world wide, with 4 of those flying in the U.S. |
