We have a new member in the aviation world :

Welcome to the ultra light/homebuilt that provides a new life to the grassroots of aviation. Reduce expenses, license and medical requirements, to allow new people to enjoy flight, and senior pilots to continue flying.

Built in the tradition of tube and fabric aircraft, for reduced maintenance and extreme strength by a company with a reputation for building high quality, high performance, bush planes.

The LITE STAR is the new easy entry into light aircraft.

SIMPLE – Flying is reduced to the essentials and returns to the simplicity of stick and rudder. Low & slow in a gentle, agile airplane, makes flying fun again.

ECONOMICAL – This engine sips fuel at 5  USGPH and maintenance can be a DIY bonus. Parts & service on the engine & propeller are reasonable and inspections are minimal. This is your airplane and you can do the work, just think of the savings, but please if you are not sure of the procedures-ASK.

SAFE – A professionally welded, 4130 fuselage, and wings built with proven, extruded aluminum "I beam" spars, from a shop with 27 years experience building high performance aircraft, adds up to an exceptionally durable plane that will have an excellent safety record, low maintenance, and no structural problems. Gas tanks are in the wings, not the fuselage, for added safety.

TYPE --High wing, tail dragger, side by side seating, fabric covered 4130 welded tube fuselage, fabric covered aluminum structure wings. Wheels, skis, floats.
