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.

I am standing outside the tent.   I can hear the Middle Fork of the Salmon river flowing not more than 30 feet from where our tent is pitched.  I can feel the stillness of the air.  The temperature is perfect -- cool, not cold, not warm, not uncomfortable.  Cool.  Just cool.  It is exactly as it should be in the night.

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.

Belite Landing & Levitation

A quick photo essay on a landing sequence to a perfect 3 point levitation.  Here's ace pilot Scott Severen, coming in for a landing in Belite's FAR Part 103 Ultralight aircraft: the Superlite.



And here's the Levitation:

How to price a Ready To Fly Belite airplane

One of the challenges of running a small aircraft business (double entendre intended) is explaining our option list to our customer base.  I made a post a few weeks ago where I provided some spreadsheet excerpts explaining some options. 

Now we've made it simpler - we have a online page which allows you to dynamically select any options you want, and see the resulting price and the resulting aircraft weight.

Every single model we sell is basically the same airframe, modified for performance (which is our Superlite, with a 50HP engine) or for tricycle gear, or for light weight, or for better paint jobs.....  Starting from a baseline configuration (which we call a Belite 254), you can click option buttons to see what your ideal airplane weighs and costs.  Create a Trike; create a Superlite, create a Dragon, create whatever kind of FAR Part 103 Ultralight aircraft suits your fancy.

Give it a try, it's fun!

There's also 'preset' buttons at the top of the pricing page which allows you to click one button and see various model configurations show up in the dynamic pricing / weight spreadsheet.

Give it a try and play with it --- just click here and you'll land on the correct page on our website.

Enjoy!
