An affordable entry level metal two seater, designed to give you
everything you would expect in a modern trainer.
Originally a brilliant French design from the Robin factory in France and now
being manufactured to the highest standards in New Zealand by
Alpha Aviation Ltd in a brand new factory.
The design of the new 118hp 'Alpha' trainer relies on a simple, rugged
all-metal airframe (That of the FAA A Category R2160, tested to
the +6/-3.5 G acrobatic limits) carried on a strongly built
oleo-pneumatic landing gear. The engine is an O-235 Lycoming, renowned for
its modest thirst (21-23 litres/hour) offering an unmatched 2400 hour
recommended TBO + 20% extension to 2880 hours.
Its modern lines, with low wings and a bubble canopy giving unrivalled
visibility, its comfort and responsive handling qualities make it
the perfect training aircraft for pupil and the instructor alike.
