The Merlin was introduced to Europe in 2013 at the AERO Expo. The aircraft attracted a great deal of interest due to its excellent performance specifications and attractive lines.

The Merlin needs only 60hp as it is much lighter than 2-seat LSA aircraft. Even with only 60hp the cruise speed is 120mph and take-off and climb performance is excellent.

Compared to LSA the Merlin is faster than most, has higher wing loading so it can be flown more comfortably all day long, and costs about 75% less.

We have two engine choices: The well-known 65hp Rotax 582 and our new Vtwin 60hp 4-stroke engine.

All aluinum, CAD-designed with precision matched-hole technology, and well-engineered. Most of the first LSA aircraft began life as a 450 kg European microlight class and were morphed to the 600 kg LSA class. Most of themm gained weight. And over the years more and more options were added, and more weight gained. What started at 750 lbs empty now weighs some 900 lbs. And performance has suffered. A lot. And bigger, more expensive engines are used like the Rotax 912iS or the 915iS adding a lot of complexity, more weight, and a lot more cost. We are not going there with the Merlin II. We are keeping it light and will benefit from lower-cost engines and still have good performance.

READY-TO-FLY: INCLUDES ENGINE, EFIS, EMS, & ELECTRIC TRIM.
FINISHED PRICE: $34,000

Part 103 ultralights must meet quite strict weight and speed requirements. 27 MPH stall, 63 MPH top speed, and 254 lbs. empty or 278 lbs. empty with a rescue chute. Of course, EVERY manufacturer of ultralights offers a model that meets those parameters. But no one buys it. EVERY customer adds some options. Of course, the Merlin Lite complies with Part 103. We have proven it.  Just choose your options to meet your flying preferences. Call me for advice. We will make the perfect aircraft custom for you.

The ‘Merlin Lite” is an all-new version of the Merlin and has a longer wing and a lighter airframe to meet the FAA Part 103 ultralight rule that looks and flies like a ‘real’ aircraft. The list of features is truly impressive with most items not even available on your typical ultralight.
