The Ikarus C42 is similar to a classic light aircraft design i.e. with a wing above you.  It is a stable aeroplane with firm controls and with great visibility downwards so you can see what is below.  This aircraft has a gull wing door so it is easy to climb into.

In addition to being a high wing, two seat, side by side tri gear aircraft, the airframe is of aircraft-grade aluminium with a composite cabin and fuselage shell. This innovative, modern, two seat aeroplane is made by Comco-Ikarus in Germany.

The aircraft is a well proven trainer with many flying schools using them around the world with over 1,200 sold since the aircraft was manufactured in 1996. Powered by the Rotax 912UL 80hp engine this gives the aircraft great performance with fantastic economy. The aircraft will comfortably cruise at 90mph burning 12 litres of fuel per hour.

The aircraft has our safety package which includes a built in radio and transponder, lights and a ballistic parachute. The aircraft instrument panel includes an Air Speed Indicator (ASI), Altimeter, Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI), Compass, Slip Ball, Hobbs meter, Oil Pressure , Oil Temp and CHT gauges, Voltmeter, Fuel Gauge and 2 x auxiliary power sockets.
