*SOLD full price* Kiss 400 582 Blue Top +Trailer

Air Creation Kiss 400 Buggy (582 Blue Top) + Trailer
=====================================================

G-CBLX "Golf-Lima Xray"

A change of circumstances forces my reluctant sale of this fantastic flexwing aircraft.
I went Air Creation after training on a P&M Quantum 912 and have never looked back!
A joy to fly, very responsive lightweight handling, great climb rate (1000+fpm flown solo), goes where you point her!
Far more confortable than a Quantum, especially for the rear passenger, higher up and no annoying head tilting due to the quantum upright!
Much loved, kept in purpose built dry hangar last 3 years.

Reviews:
========
From the BMAA review (click to open in new window) ...

"As a small two-seater it outhandles the competition in most respects"
"As a single seater hot ship, it wipes the floor with everything else that I have ever flown. This really is a machine that is whatever you want it to be"

I quite agree. Sad to be selling, employment change means ownership too big a luxory at the moment.
Come and see and have a ride, you won't regret it.
