Antares Flexwing Trike Now Available In 51% Homebuilt Kit!


Press Release 3/9/2001


Pilots wanting to log their time while flying a trike now have another building option to chose from, the Antares do it yourself,
51 percent homebuilt kit.


These kits can be built as an experimental amateur built aircraft or glider, or as a Part 103 ultralight.

The lights in the hangar at Arctic Sparrow Aircraft, Inc. have been burning into the wee hours of the morning for the last five months getting the Antares
flex wing trike ready for the 51percent homebuilt kit list, and now it is official.

This has been a big project, but we have all worked long hours to provide another option to pilots who want to build and fly flex wing trikes, said Mike Jacober,
owner of Arctic Sparrow Aircraft, Inc, located at Birchwood Airport in Chugiak, Alaska.

Sergei Zozulia, the manufacturer from Zaparosni, Ukraine joined Jacober in October to ready the kit plans, manual and materials for the kit list. Also working on the
project are Lanse Welch and Frank Smith who offered technical assistance on the job.


As of March 8, 2001 the popular Ukrainian manufactured Antares MA-33 will be listed on the 51 percent kit list after a thorough inspection by a
Federal Aviation Administration Manufacturing Inspection District Office official. An inspector from Kansas City initially approved the kit on the spot after the inspection.

The Antares will be offered with the Aeros Stream, Still, and Stranger II wings that are also part of the kit project.

This is great, we have worked very hard to offer the Antares with American made materials and hardware, said Sergei Zozulia, designer and proprietor of Antares Ltd.
