CUSTOMERS’ FEEDBACK – PAGES AND LETTERS FROM KIT BUILDERS

Dear kit builders,

Have you already bought a Pipistrel KIT? Did you like it? Did you put it together?

We often wonder how your kit-building work is going. We are proud on each and every Pipistrel kit aircraft which takes flight. We know how many painstaking hours of precise work it takes to assemble a kit.
That’s why we love hearing from you: please share your experience with us! Tell us how your work went, tell us about the little joys and the trouble you had, send us a photo or two… All your feedback is greatly appreciated. You can contact us at PRESS@pipistrel-aircraft.com

Here are some stories and pages of people who bought Pipistrel KITs, they are sharing their experience:

He photographed and described the entire process of his kit-building. He documented every step and made a detailed website from it:

The story of Mr. George Powers (USA), first finishing Pipistrel kit builder.

It is with a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction after many years of working on the release of the Pipistrel Sinus and Virus KIT aircraft that we are now happy to announce the first successful flight by our first finishing-kit-builder Mr. George Powers from the USA. Mr. Powers sent us many photos of the first kit-built Pipistrel Sinus. This is the story about its maiden flight.

Wearing his favorite Snoopy scarf for good luck George first took to the skies on November 17 and after a series of uneventful circuits returned to the airport with a smile that made him forget it was only around 2°F (-17 °C).
Congratulations George, we at Pipistrel are all very proud of your success and we look forward to hearing more about your adventures in a near future. We are positive that your new Sinus will bring you many pleasurable hours in the air in 2009 and beyond!

Snoopy scarf for good luck, George completed the first flights of a customer built kit Sinus.
