Stable Flying TrainerBecause it’s larger than park fliers, the Avistar Elite is also more stable and better able to handle windy conditions. |
Capable of AerobaticsJust as your high-wing trainer helped you learn basic flight skills, the Avistar Elite gives you extra confidence when beginning to fly aerobatics. |
Colorful Trim SchemeBuilt-up wood sections have been expertly finished in a colorful, contemporary trim scheme. Great Planes and Avistar Elite logo decals are also included. |
Semi-symmetrical WingThe Avistar Elite wing is semi-symmetrical, or slightly rounded on the bottom. It combines trainer-like stability with the ability to execute smooth rolls and other aerobatics that flat-bottom trainers cannot perform. |
