Another New GB1 Takes Flight

The Roll Rate Is 400 Degrees Per Second...

One of the most visually stunning new sport aircraft in many years continues to roll off the assembly line.

GB1 GameBird Serial number 0027 was rolled out Thursday February 3rd 2021 for its production test flight from out of our facility on the Louise Thaden Airfield in Bentonville, AR.

Production Flight Test is the final process before delivery. Each new GameBird is reportedly subjected to a rigorous set of inspections and checks which cover engine and avionics, flight controls, and system checks, as well as a final cleanup before handing the airplane over to its new owner.

The GB1 GameBird is built entirely in the USA, is powered by a 315-horsepower Lycoming AEIO-580 engine and a MT MTV-14-B-C four blade constant speed propeller, maximum take-off weight is 2,200 pounds with a useful load of 765 pounds: empty weight 1435 pounds. The roll rate is a sweltering 400 degrees per second.

Maneuvering Speed of 175kts, Vne of 234 KIAS and maximum full aileron deflection at VNE set our GB1 in the top of the unlimited two seat aerobatic category, but with 81 Gallons total fuel capacity and 200 kt cruise speed (and a baggage compartment), it is also said to be a great cruiser.
