Remos GX

The Remos GX is a premium LSA that emphasizes comfort and ease of operation. Its carbon fiber monocoque construction makes it incredibly light, which translates into a higher-than-average useful load for the LSA category. The aircraft is widely praised for its ‘docile’ handling, making it a favorite for transition pilots and recreational flyers who want a low-stress cockpit environment.

Key Features for GA Buyers

• Folding Wings: The wings can be folded back against the fuselage without disconnecting control linkages, allowing for storage in a trailer or a small corner of a hangar.
• Cabin Width: At nearly 47 inches wide, it offers significant shoulder room, and the large ‘panoramic’ windows provide some of the best visibility in its class.
• Efficient Powerplant: The Rotax 912 ULS is extremely fuel-efficient, typically burning 3.5 to 4.5 gph of Mogas or 100LL.
• Standard Parachute: Most U.S. models come equipped with a BRS ballistic recovery system as standard equipment.

Trade-offs

• Light Wing Loading: Because it is so light, the GX can be lively in turbulence, requiring more active piloting during gusty approaches compared to heavier aircraft.
• Sensitive Controls: The flight controls are very light and responsive, which some pilots find ‘twitchy’ until they build a few hours in type.
