X-Air founder and designer, Joel Koechlin, has been in the aircraft manufacturing business for nearly 30 years from hang gliders to microlight, three axis aircraft. Known for their superb design and ease of flight, Koechlin’s X-Air microlight aircraft have been a mainstay in the microlight field for some 15 years. Building on the success of their Standard and F model aircraft, of which they have delivered over a thousand aircraft throughout the world, Koechlin set out to build a somewhat larger more conventional three axis aircraft.
Fitting in to a Light Sport Aircraft can be a challenge these days. The X-Air LSA boasts a generously wide 43 inch cabin.
The contoured bucket seats are comfortable and natural feeling. To facilitate the long legged pilot community the X-Air LSA measures 39 inches from the back of the seat to the rudder pedals, with the seat in the full aft position. Important to every pilot is head room and the X-Air LSA provides excellent headroom from seat bottom to ceiling of 37.5 inches!
The X-Air LSA comes with the a com radio, engine monitor and basic flight instrumentation. Optional equipment includes the Garmin GTX 327 transponder and Garmin 396/495/496 GPS. We also offer the docking station for the Garmin 196-496. The X-Air LSA is a low cost entry-level aircraft with excellent training qualities, i.e. great handling characteristics. With the docile nature of the aircraft and very simple operating parameters, equally impressive is the entry-level price, a bargain in the LSA market. BASE PRICE: $59,995.00
