The SKYRANGER Swift is a development from VMAX  SKYRANGER, optimized to take advantage of engines over  80 hp to 100 hp.

Featuring a new smaller  SPORT wing, the Swift benefits from higher cruise speeds and a more comfortable flight in turbulence thanks to the increased wing loading. With a combination of shorter wingspan, and greater torsional strength, the smaller ailerons result in reduced roll loads and increased roll rate, especially noticeable at high cruise speeds over 100mph.

Takeoff performance is still in the STOL category, with a max weight takeoff roll on grass of less than 65metres, and a spirited 1200fpm climb, rate rising to over 1500fpm solo (100hp). Stalling speed remains a comfortably low 33.5Knots at 450Kg loading, meaning short field landings are still a breeze.

Powerful control response right down to stall speed, makes for easy control, and superb crosswind capability.

The SKYRANGER always did have the highest payload in its class, and with the Swift gaining 3Kg from the smaller wing this is increased further. Basic specification aircraft can be built under 250Kg. The owner can then decide whether to benefit from increased payload, a ballistic total recovery parachute system, or add a full range of extras and avionics, without having to worry about exceeding the maximum weight limit.

The Skyranger features a fast build kit with a level unbeaten in the industry.
