Hi,

 

I went to the Elmore Field Days today and on one of the stands they had three light aircraft that I hadn't seen before. It turns out that they're probably the only aircraft from this manufacturer in Australia at the moment. There were two Pioneer 300's models and a Pioneer 200 model.

 

The 300 model had retractable gear and one was fitted with a Rotax 100 hp and the other had a Jabiru 3300 engine.

 

The 200 model had fixed gear.

 

They are available as either factory built or as a kit.

Hi Peter,

 

That is certainly an impressive looking aircraft.....also the performance figures read well. Was there any indication as to price for the factory built Pioneer 300? Who are the Australian agents?

 

This linkprovides more information on performance etc.

Dave,

 

I think the basic flyaway price for the Pioneer 300 was $120,000.

Dave,

 

I forgot to mention, I don't know the name of the Australian dealer, but on the leaflet I got from the stand the dealers email address is [email protected], his mobile phone number is 0418 521 534 and the website for the manufacturer iswww.alpiaviation.com Peter.

I think the Australian agent is Barry Pendleton but I don't know his contact details.

 

This is a link to an article he has written on the Pioneer 300.

Michael Pendergast is the guy to talk to and is based at Lethbridge, Vic.

 

I haveseen and flown the Pioneer 300and am very impressed with the mix of construction materials and technology, especially the engineering of the retract gear mechanism.
