Talk about bragging rights! The
people at Team Falcon have started production of the a improved
Falcon 2000 and expect to deliver 25 kits in the year 2000.
The kits use Kevlar-carbon fibre
construction, for strength with light weight. Building times are
expected to be in the 200 hour range. The kit comes complete with
instruments and a parachute.
Empty weight is 496 lbs, making it
eligible under the two place training exemption in the U.S., with a
gross weight of 992 lbs. The Falcon 200 is
rated at 4.8 g's.
It features front and back seating
with dual controls. Power is supplied by a Rotax 503 engine in a pusher
configuration.
Propeller Speed Reduction Unit:
Also available from Team Falcon is a durable planetary redrive. This
PSRU (Propeller Speed Reduction Unit) comes in 4 ratios: 1:84, 2:18,
2.84, and 3.18. Adapter kits to fit the Subaru EA82, Legacy EJ22, &
EJ25 are available. These units are polished to a nearly chrome look and
are in line with the crankshaft, giving a uniique aircraft look to these
engines. The torsional vibration is eliminated by a multiple 4
sprag system that allows the propeller to spin freely in one direction
and completely lock in with each engine pulse. The units are machined
out of 6061 T6 aircraft aluminum and weigh 54 lb's. The shaft is
machined out of tool steel and hardened to RH 58 and has an additional
5/8" bolt for redundancy.
