The which is a two place side by side seating unit is offered with 3
engine options, the 503 Rotax, the 582 Rotax and the AMW 540 SL70.
The
craft flying a Sun N Fun was the double surfaced version. From what
I could see the X air with a 582 climbs out at about 800 feet per minute
with cruise coming in at around 65.
The craft comes standard with a front pod, brakes, trim two fuel tanks
with a 6.6 gallon capacity each, and dual controls.
