SportStar RTC
Overview
The SportStar RTC is a fully EASA Part 21 certified aircraft. It was designed from the very beginning with flight school operation in mind; the aircraft has a robust all-metal airframe which was designed for easy maintenance and low operation costs. The SportStar RTC is powered by a cerfified Rotax 912S - benefiting from favourable price and availability of unleaded automotive fuel compared to AVGAS. The average fuel consumption is just 15 litres per hour resulting in operational costs almost half that of conventional GA training aircraft.
The SportStar RTC has excellent flight characteristics, stability and outstanding control harmony. The SportStar has also passed extensive spin testing proving the aircraft's ability to handle spins. SportStar operational reliability has been proven by many flight schools in USA, Canada, Australia and other countries where the LSA version of theaircraft has been operated for many thousands of flying hours and many tens of thousands of landings.
Glider & banner towing
TheSportStar RTC is certified for towing sailplanes up to 700 kilos MTOW and also banners up to 140 sq/m with fractional costs of operation compared with conventional GA aircraft.
Extensive towing tests have been performed with different types of gliders (including Duo Discuss, Janus, Ventus, ASK21, Blanik, L-13, Nimbus, SF-34, Cirrus, VT-116, VSO-10, Z-24, ASW-15, LG-425) from paved and grass airfields and at high air temperatures (34°+C). Low operational costs, outstanding flight characterisitcs (retained in towing) and fantastic all-round view from the cabin makes the SportStar one of the best selling towing aircraft on the market.
