We are a small company that custom builds each trike to the customer requirements. We know all of our customers as individuals and friends, and want to retain that close relationship for the long term. We keep our overheads low, for two reasons, one, our lower costs allow us to pass on these savings to our customers, which is one of the factors in our competitive prices. Check out the other guys, they are thousands of dollars more expensive for a similar aircraft. The second reason is that we intend to be around for the long term, whatever the market conditions, so that we are here to support our friends and customers. The other side of this is that we do not have an extensive stock of ready built trikes, everything we have is in our store are parts ready to assemble, and we order engines props and instruments when you order the trike. It can take 6 weeks to custom build a trike, and more if there are customers ahead of you in the line. Please be assured though that the wait is worth it. You will have a first class trike at a good price, built to your specifications and supported by a company that cares about you as a customer and a pilot. Here our our terms for ordering a trike: An initial $500 refundable deposit to secure your production slot. 50% of the final price 6-8 weeks prior to the delivery date. 25% of the final price 3-4 weeks prior to the delivery date Balance of the final price on delivery. You may reclaim your initial refundable deposit any time up to the second deposit is paid. After that if you change your mind and cannot complete the deal for some reason, we will hold your deposit until another customer can be secured to take over your project. There may be expenses to be paid during this process, which will be deducted from your deposit before repayment. The aircraft remains the property of Sportflight International LLC., untill all outstanding charges are paid.
