Manufacture
The exceptional strength,
durability and incredibly lightweight is made possible by a new ingenious
patented method of construction using space-age materials. The Bateleur
is manufactured entirely in precision moulds resulting in ease of repair
and perfect fit of all replacement parts. The fully retractable undercarriage,
optional variable pitch propeller, and streamline shape, coupled with
low frontal and surface areas, gives the Bateleur exceptionally low
drag. This results in her high performance, fuel efficiency and low
operational costs.
It is ideally suited as a training
aircraft and if specially equipped constitutes an ideal low cost IFR
training platform whereby the safety pilot is seated upfront, the pupil
sits in the rear with a blinded canopy and blocked forward view which
isolates him completely.
