Art Belite

Let me know what you think of Art Belite:

Belite Kit Pricing

We've posted a Belite Kit Pricing spreadsheet online for our FAR Part 103 ultralights, click HERE to see it.  This spreadsheet lets you manipulate any or all of the options to make the kit exactly the way you want it.

You'll notice that all the base kit items are detailed out, and you'll see the pricing value of each line item.  Have a look, and if you're interested in a kit or have any question, send us an email or give us a call.

Line items 1 through 34 are standard in the base kit, while line items 35 through 60 are options.

If you are interested in our Ready To Fly (RTF) aircraft pricing, that post may be found here.

The temperature is perfect, the night air is perfect, the sound of the river is perfect, yet there is something creating more majesty than any of these minor senses.
