\"kelpie-lh-side-02\"<\/a>Foxbat Australia is very pleased to announce the launch of an Aeroprakt A22LS specially developed for Australian farmers, landowners and mustering pilots – the Kelpie, called after the famous\u00a0Australian farm working dog.<\/p>\n

The Kelpie is basically an Australian ‘standard’ A22LS with the following additions:<\/div>\n
– larger series 283 KievProp for even better take-off and climb, with little penalty on cruise
– 8.00×6 ‘tundra’ tyres x3 for that soft feeling on rough paddocks
– rubber mud flaps to keep the ‘mud’ off your wings and tail
– large 30kgs placarded metal luggage container with exterior door, to carry all those useful tools
– Australian Warning Systems 100W siren with ‘yelp’ and ‘wail’ settings
– GME 80-channel UHF\/CB radio through the headsets; intercom &\u00a0both pilot and co-pilot can use the UHF
– clear protective tape on the fronts of the main gear legs and stabiliser leading edge<\/div>\n
To facilitate quick inspections before flight, we deleted the usual wing strut fairings.<\/div>\n
\"kelpie-mudflaps-01-small\"<\/a>The aircraft was displayed at the recent ‘Ozkosh’ event in Australia before it was delivered to its new owner in far north Queensland.\u00a0So far, we have received a lot of interest and a couple of\u00a0orders. Call now to book a production slot!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Click here for a link to the Kelpie Gallery for more information<\/a>. We are also making a short YouTube video about the aircraft and are hoping this will be ready in the next couple of weeks – I\u2019ll post\u00a0a link when it\u2019s uploaded.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
