Kevlar-Built Falcon LS Debuts At Sun ‘n Fun
The LSA world has busily populated itself with a wide variety of aircraft, but the Falcon LS, which is showing for the first time here at Sun ‘n Fun this week, stands out with a sleek, muscular, sporty look. “It’s the Kevlar,” said T&T Aviation vice president Tom Pizzuti, who was minding the airplane under the hot morning sun. T&T plans to assemble the all-composite aircraft in Pennsylvania, with parts fabricated in Europe, Pizzuti said. The airplane is still in the certification process, but Pizzuti says he hopes that will be complete by mid-May. The show airplane has a Lycoming engine installed, which gives the airplane a useful load of 492 pounds. Other possible options offered by the company include Continental, Rotax, or Jabiru engines, all of which are lighter, for a useful load increase of up to 60 pounds. Intro price is $125,000, Pizzuti said.
