TANGO
This is
no light sport aircraft!
Let's face it. Real pilots want real
airplanes. And the Tango is just that. A blazing fast, 200+ mph composite built
aircraft. With top speeds up to 220 mph, the Tango has little competition to
keep up with. And with prices less expensive then most light sport aircraft,
you'll get there in half the time for less money.
While the Tango certainly isn't light
sport, it sure can handle like a light sport at low speeds! Stall speeds of 60
mph ensure safe landings for low time pilots. With takeoff distances as low as
450 ft, it's getting close to the envelope of STOL aircraft. Fixed gear ensures
no landing gear mishaps, and affordable insurance, while still breaking the 200
mph magic barrier.
For pilots looking for an unmatched
combination of speed, range and performance in a safe, sleek, roomy, and
affordable, two place aircraft. This combination is one-of-a-kind in the industry
and the benefit to you is outstanding value.
In our unique Builder's Center program you
can build your airframe, ready for firewall forward and instrument panel as
little as 30 days. This is not just hype, it has been done. Simplicity of
construction is one of the hallmarks of the engineering behind the Tango
concept. This is one reason why three Tango builders are now owners of the
company. They
believe in it!
Cruise speeds of up to 210 mph and a range up to 1,200 miles makes the Tango a productive and exciting aircraft to own. The stall speed of 60 mph and docile basic flight characteristics makes it a safe and attractive entry-level aircraft. Typical takeoffs between 450 to 600 ft. and initial climb over 3,000 feet per minute make it a blast to fly. The low parts count, fixed gear, builder's center option, and low drag design make the Tango Simply Fast.
