They did die pretty quickly, I don't think they have sold an airplane in the last three years. But they are not bad from what I've seen, before the accident at Sebring Remos and FD were neck-and-neck in sales and popularity. I only picked them as an example because I knew off the top of my head they have folding wings.CharlieTango wrote:drseti wrote:German high-wing composite SLSA, Rotax 912ULS powered. http://www.my-remos.deCharlieTango wrote:What's a Remos?
I was being sarcastic. I remember when you couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting a Remos ad proclaiming them to be the 'be all and end all' in LSA, now - not so much.
I don't think they were ever neck-and-neck. When we flew formation for a long cross-country the Remos couldn't hold up, or keep up, or carry enough. I think they successfully marketed as equivalent but in real world use it wasn't there as far as I could see.MrMorden wrote:They did die pretty quickly, I don't think they have sold an airplane in the last three years.

The useful load on a Remos is generally higher than a CTSW (often around 650lb), but they really have nowhere to store anything.CharlieTango wrote:I don't think they were ever neck-and-neck.
