REMOS GX Facts and Figures
Developed in Pasewalk Germany the Remos GX is hand built with the precision and quality that we’ve come to expect from German Engineering. The Remos GX; although relatively new to the American Market, has been a leader in the light sport aircraft category for more then 10 years in the European Market. In the late 1980’s there was a necessity in Europe for a quitter and more economical alternative to the aircraft that were being used. With this necessity in place the engineers at Remos went to work. In 1997 they answered the call with the first line of Remos Aircraft; The Remos G3. The G3 served as the test bed from which would come the Remos GX. With all of the great qualities that the G3 offered along with a few improvements the GX developed into an aircraft that to this day is unrivaled in the light sport catagory.
Though the Remos GX conforms to the standards of the Light Sport Aircraft Category it is by no means any less of an aircraft than its bigger brothers. Everyone that flies with me in the Remos GX comments on how robust of an aircraft it is. They also rate the Remos GX high on handling characteristics, performance capabilities, as well as overall ease of use.
It’s no wonder that more people choose the Remos GX over other light sport aircraft when it come time to buy. I have provided performance specifications below for your convenience. However, seeing is believing! If you’re interested in the Remos GX and would like to see for yourself just what this aircraft has to offer. Please give me a call and we can discuss getting you set up on a demonstration flight.
