Overview

We are the exclusive supplier of plans and materials packages for Ron Wilson's aerobatic aircraft design, the single seat Acrolite. Complete construction material packages for the Acrolite (16 total) can be purchased for under $10,000.

The Rotax 912 engine is used in the prototype. The Acrolite can also be built with the Rotax 532-618.

Empty weight is 495 lbs. and gross is 750. The airplane stands six feet tall, is 17' long and has 133 square feet of wing area. It is designed for sportsman aerobatics.

The Acrolite was chosen as one of two finalists in the Scratchbuild Design Contest which we sponsored.
