Single-seat ULM 1500R

2-stroke enginetouristsport

Based on the rugged 1100R airframe, the 1500R adds a curved turtledeck, streamlined cowl and spinner for pilots that want a plane that looks as good as it flies. And the powerful 2-cylinder 40 HP engine gives it outstanding performance: a 100' takeoff roll and 1,000 fpm climb! It's hard to describe how much fun it is to fly an open cockpit aircraft, buzzing the local airstrip, waving to your friends and dancing with the clouds. And you'll have the pride of knowing you built it yourself! Are you on an extremely tight budget? As with all our aircraft, you can start with a sub-kit and build as your budget allows. Or start with our basic 1100R kit and later upgrade to the 1500R Sport by adding a few aesthetic improvements. You'll have a plane that is a joy to fly and will turn heads wherever you land. 1500R Features Experimental Amateur-Built category Mid wing Open cockpit Truss landing gear standard Easily removable wings 6 gallon wing tank (optional 2nd wing tank) Designed for 40HP 2-cylinder engines Exposed cylinder heads or fully-cowled Outstanding short field performance
