Skyranger Swift II
The Skyranger Swift II is a development from the best selling Skyranger. Featuring a smaller wing, the Swift II benefits from higher cruise speeds and a more comfortable ride in turbulence thanks to the increased wing loading. With a combination of shorter wingspan, and greater torsional strength, the smaller ailerons result in reduced roll loads and increased roll rate, especially noticeable at high cruise speeds over 100mph.
Takeoff performance is still in the STOL category, and with the 100hp 912ULS a max weight takeoff roll on grass is less than 65metres, and a spirited 1200fpm climb, rate rising to over 1500fpm solo. Stalling speed remains a comfortably low 33.5Knots at 450Kg loading, meaning short field landings are still a breeze. Powerful control response right down to stall speed, makes for easy control, and superb crosswind capability. Click on the link below to read more about this fantastic aircraft!
