FAQs
Is the VX2 available yet?
Yes it is! And it is performing awesome! (Our last 3 orders have been the GT-VX2 912 versions!)
Do you offer a 2-seat version?
We are pushing hard to get the 2-place design wrapped up. This has been our #1 request! We are trying our best to have a mock-up, static unit on display at Oshkosh and Mentone this year! Kits will be available in summer of 2024.
Can I purchase online?
Yes! See our new “shop” tab at the top of the page!
If you are more comfortable placing your order over the phone, that’s fine! Give us a call. We’d love to talk to you! (507-243-3991)
Can I fly without a license?
No. These machines do not meet the FAA part 103 Ultralight classification in terms of max weight, fuel capacity, and top speed. To legally fly, you will need at least a sport pilot license with a gyro endorsement. (Really not that hard to get if you put your mind to it)
Can I install a pod?
It’s experimental, you can do whatever you want! However, any changes or additions will certainly affect the weight and balance as well as the aerodynamic flight characteristics. This could result in a very dangerous (if not deadly) configuration. The GT-VX-1 is an open format machine, designed to maximize the sensation of flight!
How far can I fly?
If using a Rotax 582, it will burn about 6 gallons per hour. (Thirsty little buggers!) A comfortable cruise speed is about 60 MPH. Full fuel tanks (7.5 Gallons) will then give you a range of 50+ miles with a safe fuel reserve.
The VX2 is much more economical with a but rate of under 4 GPH. With nearly 10 gallons on board, you will get about a 2 hour flight duration. (~120 miles range)
This would be a straight-line course to your destination. In reality though, you will be having too much fun, and your flight path will not be a straight line, but rather resembling something closer to a bowl of spaghetti!
Are these machines CLT? (Centerline Thrust)
YES! Very close to CLT! The thrust-line offset to the Center of mass of the GT-VX1 is just over 1”. The VX2 is within 3/8″ of being CTL, with less than a .5° hang angle change from full to empty tanks!
What power plant is used on the GT-VX1?
A 65 HP Rotax 582 is by far the most popular engine used on this aircraft. We also have engine mounts to adapt to a Hirth 3203.
