The LightWing Range has one of the best safety records

of any light aircraft in the world.

90% of our factory built aircraft are registered with the Australian Ultralight Federation,
this is a great group of sports aviation enthusiasts and can be found at www.auf.asm.au
You can also VH- register your aircraft with CASA fully built or kit built.
  ALSO ... Our aircraft are used in some of Australia's best flying schools and by some of Australia's most successful farmers.

The 2 Seat GR-912 Tail Wheel LightWing

In both the tailwheel version (the GR-912) and the nose-wheel version, the ALW SPORT 2000 is a super user friendly high wing monoplane. Construction consists of a riveted alloy wing partly covered with aircraft fabric (part alloy) combined with a welded light weight steel fuselage also part composite, part fabric covered. The welded steel fuselage provides a high degree of protection in the event of an accident while the slow stall speed (35 kts) reduces momentum adding to safety.

Economical Cruise Speed is 75 kts for both aircraft and a maximum cruise speed is  85  kts. Range is a little over 3 hours with 2 wing mounted fuel tanks of 30 l each. Both the SPORT 2000 and the GR-912 are designed to meet some of the highest standards in the world, further ensuring both reliability and performance.

Peter says the use of the LightWing on his 100,000 ha property at Bourke, halved the wear on his 4WD and also cut to 1/4 the time taken to find and move stock. Peter's back gate was a 3 hour drive in his Toyota (oh what a feeling) or a 20 minute flight in the LightWing 
(oh what a better feeling !)
Insurance for our aircraft is not a problem and can be obtained in Australia through Chamberlains or the Aviation Underwriting Pool for as little as $1,500 P/A - Ask Howie for a quote.
 

Premium funding insurance makes it easier as the annual premium can be paid in monthly installments.

The small vertical helicopter style dash and added forward windows were added to the LightWing to provide extra forward visibility for aerial inspection.

We call it the 'Heliview' Cockpit and it has proved very popular.

 
 
  We can custom design your own unique color scheme and add a personalized name to your aircraft. Ask for a color chart when placing your order.

Floats and Amphibious floats are available for LSA approved aircraft and also Kit Built aircraft. Tail wheel with retractable main, are available.

Also, nose wheel floats are available with our new Quad tunnel design.
