For some, the sky is the limit.....        When flying a Pipistrel.....       There are no limits.....

The Pipistrel - Sinus, Virus and Taurus Motorgliders are now available in Australia and New Zealand. They are type certified and approved for training, hire or private flying when registered through Recreational Aviation Australia. If registered through the Gliding Federation of Australia they can be used for general flying and training of the aircraft owner or owners in a club environment.

The Pipistrel Sinus, Virus and Taurus are the world's first Ultralight certified, composite, two seater side-by-side motorgliders, made from the same JAR 22 long life composite materials as fully certified gliders, the aircraft are economical to buy and own, and simple to fly and maintain. The clean design, low drag and superb construction make these designs some of the most economical, high performance aircraft ever made.
