The Astra 912 is a superb blend of power and easy handling, with the world famous Rotax 912 4-cycle engine. This aircraft combines performance and capability in a great package. An oustanding all round aircraft, the details have been looked after in the Astra 912 from the smooth throttle response to the throaty note of the engine to the comprehensive digital engine monitoring suite and the front storage compartment which doubles as an overnight bag. Acceleration is crisp from the 80 horse power motor and braking is equally effective from the 5 inch diameter dual drums on the rear wheels, allowing departure and arrival in around 200 feet solo!
A comfortable 2 seat aircraft, this has a top level speed of 80 mph, a VNE of 90 mph, and a stall speed of 33 mph. Cruise speed is effortless from 55 to 70 mph. Fuel burn is just over 3 gallons an hour at normal cruise. The Astra 912 is available in a range of colors including metallic blue, red or black.
