The Updated VX1 with 100HP Simonini – Could this be your “Dream Machine”?
With the Rotax 582 being discontinued, we went searching for a good engine for our VX1 model…. And found it!
Our latest VX1 is fitted with a 100HP Simonini Victor 2 Super. Virtually the same weight as Rotax 582, but 35HP MORE!
We continue to put hours on this quick, nimble and powerful machine, and it is exceeding our hopes!
More reports and video to come!

Midwest LSA Expo – Mt Vernon IL
The Mt Vernon LSA Expo (Sept 10-12 2020) was a great time! Crowd quantity was a little low, (as expected due to COVID) but crowd quality was HIGH! Every person I spoke to was actively trying to decide what type of aircraft to purchase! (And they thought the gyros were certainly appealing)
