Clearprop! Invests in World's Number One Training Aircraft

Clearprop! Microlight School are proud to now be able to offer training on the brand new Ikarus C42 aircraft.

The Ikarus C42 aircraft is the world's most popular new training aircraft with more than 650 sold worldwide. This aircraft, designed and manufactured by Comco-Ikarus in Germany uses the latest technologies available to offer a high performance microlight aircraft to the market. This new aircraft is manufactured from a range of modern materials including a composite cabin, an airframe made of aircraft-grade aluminium and high strength Kevlar/Mylar/Polyester laminate covering all of the flying surfaces.

The Ikarus offers a conventional sibe-by-side layout with a robust landing gear well suited to rough field operations, hard landings, as well as the lovely smooth grass we have here at Redlands.

Our new school aircraft inludes the industry standard Rotax four stroke 100hp 912S engine offering great performance and the best reliability that money can buy. The Ikarus C42 is also one of the more spacious microlight aircraft on the market with a comfortable cabin wider than some Cessnas and easily accessible through clam shell doors. This enables us to fly with people who are less able bodied.

Clearprop! are offering the option of trial flights as well as training in either the Pegasus 912 flex wing or in the new Ikarus. The choice is yours. With the prospect of being able to hire aircraft to qualified pilots and their passenger Clearprop! will be looking to offer the Ikarus for this purpose. Watch this space.

The report from this flight test gives a good insight of what to expect from this aircraft. On page two of this report is a comprehensive table covering all the aircraft specifications.
