The versatility of the Challenger line of aircraft is legendary – wheels, skis, floats, soaring( Take her up to 4-5K feet, turn off the engine and soar like an eagle), local or cross continent flights. Four seasons a year of use. Owners enjoy a huge user community and an extensive support network. For Challenging Times – The Lowest Acquistion & Operating Costs Of All Fuel economy is unbeatable – use regular car gas – only ten bucks an hour! Acquire a Challenger for a fraction of the cost of imported Light Sport Aircraft. Parts and service are affordable and simple, unlike S-LSA and certified aircraft. 4,000 Challengers Worldwide – Performance & Safety Proven Since 1983 The first single seat Challenger ultralight a quarter century ago has evolved into a full line of kitplanes with a wide mix of models, options and accessories. The new Challenger 103 expands the line back to the grass roots and the new Challenger Light Sport is the line’s most dramatic ever step forward. Enjoy Payload, STOL, Speed Range, Unmatched Visibility, Doors On/Off Fly a Challenger Light Sport with your current license or a Sport Pilot permit. Or fly a Challenger 103 with zero red tape – no license, medical or registration. Challenger is the best value in aviation – first choice of pros and newbies alike! Call me for pricing and information on how you to can fly one of these beautiful birds! Please Call me at (432)528-7861 Thank You, Jack Fly Challenger – Make Your Dreams Come True

Factory Built Airframe The Challenger's airframe is built by the factory to ensure a professionally crafted, airworthy airplane built right without having to rely on your construction skills. It also ensures truly low assembly time for an easy and fun project you will complete with confidence. If you'd prefer to do nothing but fly, experienced builders are available to do it for you.

The newest Rotax 503 and 582 engines are ASTM certified. Purpose built for aviation they have earned top marks for reliability as well as easy, affordable maintenance. Dual independent electronic ignition systems fire two spark plugs per cylinder for redundancy plus more power and lower fuel usage. A taller redrive and bigger prop increase takeoff, climb and cruise performance. Historically the most common powerplant for Challengers was the Rotax 503. The newer UL DCDI version is superbly reliable as well as highly economical to acquire, operate and maintain. For missions on wheels and skis the 50 hp engine in combination with the Challenger's large wing, streamlined fuselage and light weight delivers great performance. The new 2011 Challenger Light Sport XS-50 clip wing can cruise at 95 mph with the 503 Power Pack! The 582 Power Pack is by far the best solution for flying missions on floats, especially with a passenger. It is particularly well suited to carrying heavy loads or operating at high density altitudes. The 582 produces 30% more horsepower than the 503 and actually uses less fuel. The new Blue Head model enjoys greatly increased reliability over the initial version. Since its introduction here in 2005 the 582 has become the most popular choice for Challenger owners across Canada. The additional thrust generated by the 582 Power Pack's combination of engine, redrive and prop converts directly into dramatic takeoffs and quicker climbs plus higher cruise speeds. The new 2011 Challenger Light Sport XL-65 has a gross weight increase to 1060 lbs due in part to the capability of the 582 Power Pack! The 582 gives scintillating performance on the Challenger. Many people say that the 582 plane on floats performs like the floats aren't there and that the 582 flies with a passenger like a 503 flies solo!

2.6-to-1 Reduction Drive The new cog drive has teeth on the belt which engage with machined grooves on both upper and lower pulleys. This results in positive engagement without significant tension being required. The possibility of slippage is eliminated as is the risk of stress from sideloads on the crankshaft and bearings. The cog belt dampens vibration and provides the positive engagement of a gearbox without drivetrain lash. Unlike a gearbox, the cog belt uses no oil bath, so it requires no preheating - no matter how frigid the air. Obviously a major benefit in Canada! The cog belt dampens vibration and provides the positive engagement of a gearbox without drivetrain lash. Unlike a gearbox, the cog belt uses no oil bath, so it requires no preheating - no matter how frigid the air. Challengers use cog belt reduction drives instead of gearboxes, even though the manufacturing cost is higher. This more elegant approach is lighter, less complex, and more reliable. The redrive tower elevates the prop higher than a gearbox which allows the engine to be mounted inverted behind the fuselage out of the slipstream, instead of upright on top of the wing creating drag. This lower drag inverted mounting approach is yet another advantage of using the 582 and 503 rather than a 912 or other four stroke engine. The 582 and 503 were designed by Rotax for both inverted and upright applications. A mixture of oil, fuel and air enters through the intake manifold and is then sucked into the crankcase through a port in the cylinder. In the crankcase this pressurized mist performs the lubrication function before being routed through another port back to the cylinder for combustion. In the 582 and 503 this process does not require valves and it is not driven by gravity or by pumps. Instead it uses simple ports and changes in pressure as the pistons go up and down. The 582 and 503 don't know or care whether they are upright or inverted. With a 912 or other four stroke engine a pump moves oil from a sump at the bottom of the engine to the top then gravity takes over to feed the oil down through the components needing lubrication. If that type of engine is inverted it seizes. With the 582 and 503 there is no possibility of hydraulic locks and with the new models there are no plug fouling concerns. 60 Inch Prop The new 2.6-to-1 reduction drive is taller than its predecessors, providing clearance for a longer 60" propeller. The 60" props turn at 2,100 rpm in cruise which is much more efficient than the 2,600 rpm rate of the shorter redrives. Decibels are down and the lower pitched sound is quite pleasing. Older Challengers have 2.2-to-1 redrives with a 54" props or 2.1-to-1 units with 52" props. Both deliver much less performance than the 2.6/60" combo. The Challenger II 582 Power Pack comes with the top-of-the-line Warp Drive 3-blade ground adjustable unit with upgraded HP-L machined aluminum hub and three carbon fibre blades with wide tips. We include nickel leading edges as standard for protection from spray, slush and rain. With the 503 the preferred prop is a 2-blade fixed pitch wooden prop which is the lightest and most economical choice. Our standard hard epoxy insert provides leading edge protection to prevent erosion from spray, slush and rain.
