F1 - Evo - R 750 k

Ready to fly including IO 540, 3 blade MT constant speed prop, basic VFR instruments , Radio & headsets

Prices based on ROE R 6.00 = 1 USD and exclude shipping and VAT as shipping depends on how many kits come together in the container.

You can get some info from out web site (still under construction) or check out www.teamrocketaircraft.com

What am I missing? The rally 105 seems too good to be true. Nice, stable high wing design. High cruise speed. Fuel efficient. Lots of load capability. Pricing looks pretty good.

So what is the catch?

Well after the devastating hangar fire which almost sunk this company, they are back on their feet and operating out of Light Flight (Cato Ridge - KZN). All the contact details are the same so it is business as usual.

Added bonus is that they are in the process of putting a Rotarway JetExec together for demonstration.

The Rally is one awesome aerie and very affordadable with top-class workmanship. Give Wayne a call, I am sure that you will be pleasantly surprised!!!

So far, and this is after the fire that destroyed all existing aircraft, there is a 2-seater Rally 105 flying (used as a demonstrator), a 2+2 Rally 105 (purchased by owner for aerial videography), a 2-seater Rally 105 (under construction for a client) and a Storm kit awaiting assembly.

If anyone is interested in prices or to view this beautiful aircraft please PM me and I will pass your details on to Wayne who doesn't visit here too often.

Thanks
