Scepter (Slipstream)

The SCEPTER is one tough aircraft, capable of flying at a gross weight of 900 lbs. with the standard Rotax 447 B-Drive. Or how about an incredible 1100 lbs. with the Rotax 503! That's enough capacity to handle a set of Shark Series amphibious floats, and all the camping and fishing equipment you'd need for the entire summer. And with a take-off roll of 100 feet, and stall speed of 27 mph, you won't need to hangar this baby at the airport . That's because the SCEPTER shares the exact same 179 square foot wing as found on the heavier GENESIS, and it's offspring, the two-place ultralight trainer REVELATION. And because it shares the same wing, it can accommodate optional flaps to produce an incredibly short field machine…or water machine, if your taste runs to floatplanes. At the same time, the SCEPTER's nimble handling provides for extreme manoeuvrability, as well as a level of pure flying enjoyment that rivals anything you've ever experienced before.
