Aerolite 103 Disassembly

This is a great aircraft. But needs update with folding wing's for easy trailering. Cheers.

[@dh-flies]

Agreed. If they had an easy to trailer design with wing folding I'd get one. I already own a plane but, I'd love to pull one around the country behind my motor home. Low and slow in Utah, Montana, Arkansas, W VA, would be awesome....

[@atmm89]

@@dh-flies yes, definitely, me too and I am in Australia with a huge area to fly and explore

Enjoyed the video, will get one some day. God Bless.

Trailer size?

[@chrisyounkers5207]

Transitioning from hot air ballooning, this disassem/assem is a breeze. 1-1.5 hours disassembly, 2-2.5 hour assembly...... Easy peeze!

Thanks for contributing to knowledge.

[@TrackerbassSS]

Thanks so much for this video .

[@nvrqit9361]

Nice video what is the length of the wings after they are disassembled?

[@Tony770jr]

I wish the Aerolite 103 had easy folding wings for storage in a garage or trailer so the expense of a hangar is not needed!!

[@LesbianNaziHookers]

Bingo. These ultralights are for affordable aviation and there is not much affordable about hangar rental in many parts of the country. Where I'm at hangar space is at a premium and you're lucky if you can even find it without driving several hours out of town. I want something I can hangar in a trailer.

[@Tony770jr]

The Kolb UL has fast folding wings and is easily trailable as I saw on their web site. Maybe a bit more expensive, but when you factor in the cost of hangar rental vs. an enclosed trailer, I think the Kolb is the way to go! Maybe the guys at the Aerolite factory can come up with a new design with easily folding wings..

[@drdimento]

Nice video thanks. Too bad that these bolts/washers/nuts can't be replaced by a bunch of pins with clasps. I've seen some have these and even fold back wings.

good❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@mastram5407]

Very beautiful

[@atmm89]

can it be transported with the tail assembly still attached? in a purposed build trailer

[@sailingaeolus]

I'm curious about that too. Any reply?

[@Mike-01234]

Too bad they don't have a wing folding option like a kitfox.

[@oloffoloff4187]

What kind of fabric is used for the wing? CORDURA NYCO or Oxford might work? Thanks for the answer to anyone who knows.

[@sacooper802]

designer had no intention to make this easily to dissemble for transportation, this is not the plane for you if you cant hanger it. this is the main reason i cant buy this plane, im my opinion an short range aircraft needs to dissemble easily for transportation

[@sailingaeolus]

Ok, what's a good part 103 kit plane with folding wings? Kolb?

[@sacooper802]

@@sailingaeolus kolb is a great choice, also badlands is a good choice

[@sailingaeolus]

@@sacooper802 Yeah, those Kolbs look good. Unfortunately C-19 has really set their production back (I read). Looks like a year before Kolb will take an order for a FireFly and then you'll get it 18 months later. 2.5 year wait. I'll keep an eye on barnstormers and see if a used one pops up.

[@fredcarter7003]

Mr. Hayes what is your charge to completed build on the 103

[@thatguy7085]

Web site has the prices, built or in kit form.

[@harlonlantz4094]

How much weight in seat?

[@indepviewpt]

Would not want to take this thing apart and back together too many times.

[@patrickmckowen2999]

It is not a trailer friendly aircraft for sure -- this is for someone that can afford hangar fees.

[@Cool-Lake]

What is the minimum height of your enclosed trailer ceiling to be able to roll in the cockpit cage with wheels, engine, & prop to fit?

[@monteblackwell4652]

Need a foldable wing option

[@vincentcastellano8922]

75" to the top of engine

[@catgolfer1]

What engine is on it? Nice video.🐈

[@Mike-01234]

Looks like a Hirth F23 50hp 2 stroke

[@triwinarnochannel8882]

Where can i buy it? I live in indonesia. Thanks

[@Michael-xo8lw]

That is not at all convenient. I really love this plane, but please improve its portability.
