Thank you for your interest in our aircraft, the Escapade and the Easy Raider, and welcome to the new millennium of SLA/VLA flying. We have combined the looks and feel of a real aeroplane with many convenient features and AFFORDABILITY.

Having excellent handling characteristics and performance together with outstanding visibility and a comfortable cockpit (fit for a pilot of just about any size or height), these aircraft are a joy to fly. With their fully enclosed chrome-moly steel fuselage and optional cabin heat they can be flown all year round, and with the options available you can easily build up your aircraft to be truly impressive. Whichever way you build them, you can land and take off in places smaller aircraft would never dream of trying. We want to help make your dream a reality.

The Escapade was developed to meet the demand for a two place dual control three axis aircraft. The aircraft has the same high standard of manufacture as the Easy Raider and utilises a number of common components, this allows us to take all of the best aspects of the original aircraft and add that little something extra. Mainly it's two place side by side seating, dual control (individual sticks), tri-gear or tailwheel configuration (and the ability to swap from one to other in about 1 hour). The Escapade is offered not only in its SLA form (UK Microlight category, UK BCAR Section S) but also its VLA form (UK Group A, JAR/VLA).

There are now 20 Escapades flying in the U.K. and another 11 with varying power plants under construction. The first 2 VLA examples should be flying within the next month or so and the first fitted with the UL260I are also under construction.

The Easy Raider, an SLA with its tandem style buddy seat, is certified to UK BCAR SECTION S requirements.

There are now 7 Easy Raiders flying in the U.K. and another 4 with varying power plants under construction. Unfortunately we are currently unable to supply Easy Raider kits.

Whether you are just looking today, or planning to purchase, we hope you find the information available on this site helpful. We will endeavour to keep you up to date on our progress either by mail, e-mail or via the home page of the web site. Please contact us if you have any questions or comments.

Best wishes from us all
