The Challenger II 447 Legacy Airframe is configured to be lightweight and functional. In appearance it is very much like the vintage Challengers of the eighties yet it contains modern robustness and durability enhancements.

The tail, wings and fuselage are pre-built at the factory from 6061-T6 aircraft grade aluminum. All hardware is provided and is AN aircraft quality.

Superflite fabric is provided pre-sewn into socks for the tail, pre-cut into top and bottom sections for the wings, and precut into panels for the fuselage.

Full dual controls - sticks and rudder pedals - are installed at the factory. Throttles are provided for front and rear seats. Cushions and seatbelts with shoulder straps are standard for both seats. In-flight adjustable flaperons and pitch trim are standard with this package.

The cabin is fully enclosed with the Lexan wraparound windscreen and doors. Instruments included are Air Speed Indicator, Altimeter, Tachometer, Hour Meter, Compass and a Cylinder Head Temperature gauge.

In the interests of cost, weight and simplicity there is no electrical system.
A 10 USgal fuel tank is included as standard.

Again in the interests of cost, weight and simplicity, the Legacy package does away with the fairings, covers and pants of the Deluxe and Premium packages.

The landing gear includes main gear legs of 2024-T3 aluminum without inserts. All three wheels use the basic 5" nylon rims and the smallest available tires to reduce weight and drag. Brakes are not included.

The wing is the 31.5 ft long span and the cabin is the wide version with low cockpit side rails.

The Challenger II 447 Legacy Power Pack is centered on the Rotax 447 UL SCDI engine and includes everything you need to deliver thrust and go flying.

This engine has a single electronic ignition system, one spark plug per cylinder, single carb, impulse fuel pump, air filter and muffler. The motor mount and exhaust mount are included. The 447 is air-cooled via an engine-driven fan. Start is accomplished via a manual recoil starter.

The reduction drive is the preferred "tall" 2.6-to-1 unit which turns a 60" two-blade wooden prop with pitch fixed to optimize takeoff and climb.
Leading edge protection is not included on this fair weather machine!

CHOOSE Lexan: tinted OR clear wraparound windscreen and doors.

You may upgrade the 447 to the Rotax 503 UL DCDI for a 25% increase in power. The 503 comes complete with dual electronic ignition, two spark plugs per cylinder, dual carbs, impulse fuel pump, and muffler.
