Rollison Light Sport Aircraft was at Sun N Fun 2008 with their all new tail dragger EuroFox. According to Chris Bailey the craft on display is the third unit to be imported into the U.S. The plane has been available in both a tri-cycle gear and tail dragger in Europe for a number of years. Rollison had both a tail dragger and a tri-cycle gear on display in yellow which is also the first time time that the craft has been available in that colour. The EuroFox has been produced since 1990 and the units on display were serial number 250 and 251. The planes are all hand built, but a staff of 30. The factory limits it's production to four aircraft per month. Two of which go to the rest of the world and two are imported by Rollison, who then sells them directly to the public, saving customers about 10% on the price of the craft. The craft features a 4130 chromoly steel fuselage, covered in standard aircraft covering material. Controls are standard stick and rudder with dual sticks. The tail dragger features toe brakes while the tri-cycle gear has a hand brake. The plane comes with a Rotax 912 engine, cruises in the 100 plus mph range, climbs out at over 1,000 feet per minute and has a range of 600 miles. The plane comes with cabin vents located on the upper dash for ventilation and has a push pull tube which opens a cabin door to supply heat. Seat adjustment for individual pilot size is through a number of detachable seat cushions. The EuroFox also features folding wings as a standard feature. For more information contact: |
