Xenon Floats
This second week of August was the ocean baptism for the Xenon 2 RT on floats. In the beautiful scenery of south Norway, in the middle of small Fjords and hundreds of tiny islands, the Xenon 2 RST F, was used to demonstrate and train 3 pilots and 4 visitors. Despite on one day the harsh conditions with more than 50 km/h wind, turbulences and surely not smooth waters, the Xenon once more proved how graceful and stable it managed on the water. The machine, belonging to Sir Leif, was tried doors off and on, and with them on we would almost not notice that we were on floats, as the stability is so perfect. 6 flight hours were performed on this intensive trainings.
A big thanks to our Norwegian distributor Erik Lundblad that with Leif and Axel were able to organize this session, and warmest greetings to all the visitors at this occasion. Certainly the Xenon on floats will success in many places.
A special note for Alexander Halvorsen, Norwegian reporter and photograph specialized in aviation, that covered it with those shown here under beautiful photos. Thanks again.
The flight envelop was opened to 145 km/h, with tight turns, steep approaches etc… The Xenon 2 RT F, is the ultimate and probably the only sea-gyro with such qualities.
We are now able to sell well tuned aluminium floats, equipped with dual rudders, powder-coated extra strong paint, will match perfectly any 2 seat delta trike units, other gyros and airplanes up to 550 kg TO weight. Delivery time is 6 weeks.
Another small clip movie is under preparation.
