TYPE CERTIFICATE:
The S-7C Courier is a Type Certified Aircraft!

100 HP A/C FLYING:

The production aircraft has been equipped with the 100 hp ROTAX 912S Engine. The 100 hp is now the standard engine and offers added performance at a small increase in fuel consumption, making this one exciting and fun-to-fly aircraft! Check out the Spec Sheet for details in performance with the 912S.

LONGER FUSELAGE IMPROVES HANDLING FOR BOTH KIT & CERTIFIED:
By adding 21 inches to the tail cone, we have improved the ground handling, pitch and yaw stability and roll coupling and low speed handling. In the hands of an experienced pilot the crosswind capacity remains intact, 20 knots at 90 degrees. The weight penalty came out to 15 pounds, however the use of a lighter battery recovered 7 pounds of this increase. 

12" "N" NUMBER, PAINT SCHEMES TO BE STANDARD:
In looking through the new brochure on the S-7C you will notice the smaller N number. The actual size to be used on the production aircraft will be 12 inches. This number size means the S-7C will be able to perform international flights without mods to the number.  Look for a posting of paint schemes on this page soon.
