We joined the world’s greatest Fly-in to show our new REMOS GXiS to you! Besides we now have a new dealer. Read more what has happened during a very special week of aviation.
First of all: REMOS has a new dealer in the U.S.! David Spano and Tony Sabos from SimplyFLY in Aurora (KARR), close to Chicago, will support REMOS from now on. They operate their flight school with a REMOS fleet and are very happy with these aircraft. We will tell you more about those enthusiastic guys and their extraordinary approach to aviation in the following days – stay tuned!
SimplyFLY’s home base was where our Oshkosh-adventure began: We shipped the prototype of the REMOS GXiS, call sign D-EPDC, and a factory new REMOS GXNXT, or GXnXES as it is called in the US, to Aurora, call sign N434GX. After all the paperwork was completed, we flew the two planes up to KOSH in formation on Friday before the Air Venture.
On Sunday, we took the opportunity to show our newest version of the REMOS, the GXiS, to several international aviation journalists, demonstrating the aircraft in full both on the ground and in flight by flying out of KOSH and back in via the Ripon-Fisk-Approach.
Among them was Dan Johnson, a well-known LSA-specialist. In his report, which he published online on bydanjohnson.com the same evening, he calls the REMOS GXiS a “Mercedes of LSA”. Together, we came up with a new word: “Smartification”! Why? The REMOS GXiS is not only a pleasure to fly, but also contains many unique features that enhance safety and make flying even more comfortable. SMARTStart for instance makes it possible to start-up the engine with only one push to a button. The fuel injected Rotax 912 iS Sport is very efficient and reliable. All the new avionics make you feel like flying an airliner. All this, and many more features, we think is worth to be called “smartification in aviation”.
The following days were just great. We met many customers during the show, talked to pilots who fell in love with our aircraft and visited our business partners, especially the guys from Dynon Avionics. We also welcomed some of America’s and Europe’s most important aviation journalists at our press conference and at the booth.
This whole week was very exciting for all of us and we’re looking forward to the next EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh next year.
