Tecnam South Island Tour is currently in progress, with the latest model, the Eaglet, sold to an owner who will use it to commute from Southland to the West Coast. If you would like a demo please contact Ruth rpresland@tecnam.co.nz The Eaglet is a truely outstanding aircraft.

U-Fly currently operates Echo Supers, one of which that has just been delivered, with serial number 1075, indicating just how many of these popular models have been produced world wide. The other Echo Super is fitted with a New Zealand Airmaster constant speed propellor and factory glider tow hook.

We choose the Echo Super for the strong construction, including full cabin roll cage, roomy cabin, with a surprisingly excellent veiw for a high wing but most of all for it's all round performance and agilness.

For licensed pilot's the Echo Super is a great choice for a private hire machine, for cruising cross country and landing on grass strips. Despite the healthy cruise the Echo Super has a very low stall speed, making it ideal for strip flying.

THE P92 ECHO SUPER ATTAINS NEW GOALS OF EXCELLENCE:

With its 100 Hp engine (Rotax 912ULS), superior performance, dependable systems, sturdy structure, low maintenance cost and competitive pricing, the P92 ECHO SUPER is unrivaled by aircraft in similar or even higher weight category.

The advantage becomes even clearer when taking into account the great ease in piloting, servicing and repair.

Main variations with respect to P92-S are as follows:

More spacious cabin
High efficiency slotted flaps
Larger instrument pane
Reduced wing surface
Contoured fuselage
Improved soundproofing

The aerodynamic contour of the fuselage has been improved by eliminating live edges and streamlining the nose section.

The traditional landing gear that has long-been a distinctive feature of the P-92 is unvaried with the exception of small modifications of the wheel fairings.

The fuel system is made up of two metal fuel tanks with a total capacity of 90 liters. The two tanks are positioned, one each, in proximity of the inboard end of half-wing's leading edge and fuel gages are mounted on cockpit instrument panel. A standby electric fuel pump insures fuel supply for any given flight attitude in case of mechanical pump malfunction.

The large flapped portion of the wingspan coupled with the increased efficiency of the lower hinged slotted flaps has permitted a reduction of the wing�s surface. The resulting increase in wing loading has, in turn, yielded better performance in turbulent air and greater maneuverability. Structural load factor is increased by a factor of one.

Incredible results have been obtained in New Zealand skies in this aircraft configured ex factory as a tow plane for gliders.
