TECNAM, The World’s Leader in Light Aircraft, Announces the United States Release of the New P92 Tail Dragger (TD)
Sun ‘n Fun, 2012: TECNAM Costruzioni Aeronautiche Srl in conjunction with its North American distributor, has released it’s latest LSA model to the United States this week at the 38th annual Sun ‘n Fun air show. This model is a continuing evolution of the best selling P92 series of aircraft.
Tecnam believe that many existing Tail Dragger operators and pilots are keen to change their existing models for a new and modern aircraft. Tecnam P92 Tail Dragger customers will be able to power their aircraft with one of two engines; the Rotax 912ULS2 and the Lycoming O-233 engine.
Market research is showing an over 50% preference for tail wheel compared with standard configuration airplanes within the worldwide GA pilot community. Other findings included a 60% preference for side-by-side seats (very few legacy tail draggers offer this cabin configuration) and 70% of pilots indicated that they preferred a metal vs. fabric constructed aircraft!
“This is the first new, all metal, side-by-side Tail Dragger to be launched in a long time. Tecnam has responded in typically robust fashion to strong market demand for a modern Tail Dragger with great flight characteristics but which is also fun to fly“, said Phil Solomon, CEO of Tecnam North America. “With the new G5 P92 Eaglet in 2011 followed by the P92 Tail Dragger and the SeaSky Amphibians in 2012, there can be no doubt about Tecnam’s long term commitment to new product development and innovation.”
Tecnam North America is doing it’s best to make this aircraft, as well as it’s other models readily available in the United States via it’s recently launched One Per State Program. This purchase friendly program gives 10 lucky individuals in each state the opportunity to purchase one of the 10 Tecnam models for an amazing 20% off, a savings of up to $29,180.00!
