The 2-Seat GR-912 Tail Wheel LightWing

ALW SPORT 2000 & GR-912 Specifications (view/dowload .pdf)

In both the tail wheel 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 (35kts) reduces momentum, adding to safety.

Economical Cruise Speed is 75kts for both aircraft and a maximum cruise speed is 85kts.

Range is a little over three hours, with two wing-mounted fuel tanks of 30L each. Both the SPORT 2000 and the GR-912 are designed to meet some of the highest standards in the world.

The small vertical helicopter-style dash, and added forward windows, were added to the Australian LightWing to provide extra forward visibility for aerial inspection. We call it the 'Heliview' Cockpit.

Floats and Amphibious floats are available for LSA approved aircraft, and we can custom design your own unique colour scheme and add a personalised name to your aircraft. Ask for a colour chart when placing your order.

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

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 $1500 P/A - Ask Howie for a quote.

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