XT S-912The XT-912 made its debut at the 2003 Sun N Fun. After a lot of hard work and long hours we are pleased with the finished product. You will see from the pictures that the XT-912 that we have not simply added the 912 engine to an Edge X base. The XT base is a total re-design. Our CNC miller enabled innovative design concepts to become a reality. Extensive testing has shown the XT base will easily pass load test requirements. But don't take our word for it -- Click here to see what others are saying about the 912!
SOME FEATURES: The XT can be set up easily by one person. The mast folds independently of the motor. A gas strut is used to help lift the wing onto the trike base and requires little effort. High quality Fournales oleopneumatic rear shock absorbers are used on the rear. On the front again high quality double action adjustable shock absorbers. The seat frame has been widened but we have kept to our standard style of seat which has proved to be one of the more comfortable trike seats available. The cockpit has a tall windscreen for improved wind deflection and the cockpit is cut away at the sides to allow for easier pilot access. The wide rear 6 inch wheels remain a feature as with our other models but the wheel pants/spats have been redesigned and include an integrated aerodynamic fin. The XT-912 comes standard with the new Streak 3 wing. PX 20 Mylar is used on the leading edge. This cloth is only available in white with a black cross weave; it is UV resistant (within reason) and is easy to keep clean. There are still two undersurface panels and these can be colored. The battens are enclosed making for a clean looking sail. Simple tuning can be done via allen key adjustment at the wing tips. The reliable Rotax 912 with carb heat (standard feature) delivers a smooth 80 HP to our new 3 blade composite propeller. The fuel tank holds 70 plus liters giving the pilot enough airtime for extensive cross country or circuit work. Digital instrumentation is currently standard. We use the Skydat GX2, this instrument is superb for engine and flight management. | .jpg)
