The Highlander is a versatile aircraft with great performance capabilities. The cockpit is 44” wide with lots of headroom and over 30 cu. ft. of cargo area. The plane has adjustable seats and there is plenty of room to haul everything you need for that hunting, fishing or cross country trip. Planes may be ordered with Floats, as an Amphib, with wheels or skiis for winter use. This aircraft is very affordable and with the proper maintenance will last you a lifetime. Combine these features with the new light Sport Pilot license and you too can enjoy the thrill of flying your own airplane!

The Highlander has the same great features as its predecessor the Escapade, but with all the great upgrades to make it the ultimate backcountry aircraft. The Highlander is manufactured with all high quality aircraft materials. It is also manufactured with attach points for floats, lots of cabin area and extra large cargo area to haul everything you need. So get in and lets go have some fun!

The Escapade has been developed to meet the demand for a two place side-by-side dual control (individual Sticks) aircraft that can be used for training as well as recreation. The Escapade is made of high quality materials that will ensure a lifetime of enjoyment, which can be passed onto the next generation. We have done this without straining your wallet unlike some similar aircraft manufactured with like materials. The Fuselage, tail and landing gear are manufactured from high quality 4130 Chrome-moly steel. The wings fold in under 2 minutes with no disconnecting of any controls or control surfaces. The Escapade can be configured with tail-wheel or tri-cycle landing gear with the ability to swap from one to the other in about 1 hour. The Escapade has been through UK Section S static testing certification requirements and flight-testing certification requirements. The Escapade can be installed with any power plants in the weight range of the Rotax 503 up to the Rotax 914.
