A T.U.F. VIEW
When equipped with he 582 Rotax engine (the 503 just ain't enough horses) the Genesis
climbs out at around 600 feet per minute, cruise is 80/90 m.p.h.
At cruise cabin noise is
quite acceptable, visibility good, and pilot comfort rates an A. While the factory
publishes stall at 45 m.p.h., this is a little optimistic. This is a
plane that does one thing well and that is fly fast, slow speed flight is
not comfortable.
The Genesis has been offered to
the public since 1992.
