A22 Valour light sport aircraft.

  • 9 years ago
The "Valor" is superbly manoeuvrable and truly FUN - it will turn on a dime in the air or on the ground. It's very light on the nose-wheel, enabling it to land and take off like a tail-dragger - without all the fancy footwork! Cross-wind capability is quite high. Cruise speed is a genuine 85-90kts, (a true 100 + mph aircraft), with a top cruise speed of 106kts / 122 MPH, and a VNe of 120Kts/ 137 MPH.

When you experience the space inside, you'll realize just how cramped the competitors aircraft truly are. The view out of the A22 Valor makes even a helicopter seem claustrophobic and works well for photography as the doors can easily be removed which makes for spectacular photos!
