Belite Introduces The Chipper SS (Single Seat)

Available As Either A Part 103 Or Experimental Airplane

Belite Aircraft has introduced the Chipper SS, a single seat aircraft that is either Part 103 or Experimental.

Belite continued to hear the call for a Part 103 that was built and flew like a real airplane. And after the many years that James Wiebe has spent on perfecting the flight and build criteria, he says he knew it also had to meet experimental requirements.

Now it's ready, and there are a number of ways for you to get in on Chipper SS.
 
The Early Bird price on the airframe kit of $6000 is available through April 30, 2019.

The Belite store has deposits starting at $50 which includes a commemorative T-Shirt.
Pay $130 deposit and add the manual and blueprints.
$600 deposits puts you in line for Early Bird Pricing through April 30.
The reliable Polini Thor 250 engine is on sale through April 30.  

The Chipper SS features:

  • CNC machined parts for easy construction and quick building
  • honeycomb aluminum and honeycomb fiberglass included in the kit
  • $6000 airframe kit price (for the next 45 days, or until the first production run of 30 kits is sold out, whichever comes first)
  • Build as either Ultralight Part 103 or as Experimental Amateur Built (EAB)
  • Comfortable, large, enclosed cabin
  • Great looking design
  • Really strong aluminum reinforced cabin, with precision cut baltic birch side skins
  • Impressive aerospace 7075T6 aluminum landing gear bolt on
  • Rivets, glue, classic fabric covering
  • Absolutely no welding

Here's what pilots can expect in ultralight mode:

  • Easy takeoff and quick climb
  • Spectacular loitering aloft with fantastic visibility
  • 28 mph stall speed
