Development
The Avenger was designed to meet the requirements of the United States FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles, including the maximum 254 lb (115 kg) empty weight. Design goals included low-cost, an aesthetically attractive look and accommodation for a 76 in (193 cm) tall, 240 lb (109 kg) pilot.
Although originally designed to accept the 1/2 VW powerplant the aircraft can achieve an empty weight as low as 250 lb (113 kg) with the use of a lighter weight engine, such as the 28 hp (21 kW) Rotax 277 or the 35 hp (26 kW) 2SI 460-35. The Avenger was initially marketed with the now-discontinued Rotax 277 engine, but the use of this engine has been criticized as leaving the aircraft underpowered.
Reviewer Andre Cliche says:
Design
The Avenger structure is entirely constructed from wood, with a low wing braced to the landing gear. The wooden-framed wing is covered with aircraft fabric. The engine cowling is fibreglass. The conventional landing gear features a steerable tailwheel and main-gear suspension.
The cockpit features an optional removable canopy.
The Avenger has an estimated construction time of 400 hours from the kit.
In 2011 the kit price (without paint, varnish, pilot/passenger restraints, instruments, upholstery, engine, engine mount or propeller) was US$5999, with the plans selling for US$300.
Recommended engines include the 50 hp (37 kW) Rotax 503, 40 hp (30 kW) Rotax 447, 35 hp (26 kW) 2SI 460-35 or 38 hp (28 kW) 1/2 VW.
Operational history
In December 2004 the company reported that 50 Avengers were flying, the majority as US unregistered ultralights.
