AMS Flight Carat

The most practical motorglider for independent operation. No tow, no wing runner, and 500+ mile range under power. Taxi around airports just like a real airplane. Attend fly-ins and airshows that have never seen a glider. Unlike many other “motorgliders”, this one has documented soaring performance with multiple 500K soaring flights in mediocre Ohio conditions, and has demonstrated climb to 18,000 feet under power. Comfortable cockpit with roomy baggage area behind seat and tinted canopy. Outstanding landing visibility and docile handling with S/H Discus wing and winglets. Reliable 4 cylinder, 4 cycle Sauer 1800 engine (EASA certified) and automatic folding/unfolding propeller. I cruise at 80kts indicated burning less than 2.5 GPH. Mountain High oxygen system. This is a well sorted aircraft with a much improved panel, wiring, and systems. The PU paint and exterior are in excellent condition. Panel includes an EFIS with synthetic vision and an IGC approved soaring computer for badge and record flights. Dual lithium EarthX batteries with solar panel ensure plenty of power for reliable engine restart and landing gear operation after a long soaring flight. The custom aluminum Cobra trailer is in good condition with a seamless one piece top. Tows nicely with my little Honda HRV. Solo WingRigger and all-weather CloudDancer covers are included. Total time 978 airframe, 447 engine. New condition inspection prior to sale. $118,000 Tom Pratt, [email protected], 440-409-8810
