103 Home Specifications Colors History

 

The Aerolite 103 Quick-Build Kit has one of the lowest assembly times in the industry.  Average for a first time builder is approximately 30-40 hours, and experienced builders can assemble the aircraft in less than 30 hours.  Our Assembly Manual is written in plain language for the beginner, contains nearly 200 detailed color photos, and gives the builder the confidence to know they can complete a beautify Aerolite that flies as it should.

Standard Equipment on Every Aerolite:  

Complete airframe, featuring your choice of sail color(s), Nose Fairing & Windscreen, Electric Flaps, Shock Absorbing Main Gear, Steerable Nose Wheel with Suspension, Four-point Restraint System, 5 Gallon Aluminum Fuel Tank, Visual Fuel Quantity Gauge, Dacron Covering, Aluminum Wheels, Tubeless 13 x 5 x 6 Carlisle 4 Ply Tires, Hydraulic Brakes, and a Fully Anodized Airframe.

Ready-To-Fly Aerolites are completely assembled, and then disassembled for transport to you.
