A T.U.F. VIEW
The GT 500 comes standard with the 503 Rotax engine. This is a lot like putting a 4
cylinder engine in a full size truck. The GT 500 really comes to life and shows is able to
show her stuff when you power her up with a 582 or 912.
With the 582 climb at gross is a
comfortable 1000 per minute, cruise at 5800 will push the needle on your airspeed to 80
m.p.h.. Stall using flaps a comfortable 35 m.p.h..
Visibility is good , pilot seating
excellent for the front seat a little less for the back. It can be flown with the doors
zippered on, or with the doors removed. This is a great little aeroplane but a little over
priced.
