Serendipity
Modern flying gets more and more boring, especially with current technological advancements. And yet most of the small aircraft can't really be considered as a more efficient mode of transport. While bush flying demands the highest degree of basic piloting skills, which are rooted in good hand-eye coordination and brings incomparable joy from flying.
The plane we are developing could land into a backyard of a private house, in the hands of an experienced pilot. This is enduro motorcycle in the world of airplanes. This machine looks aggressive, sporty, it is a taildragger, with huge wheels. It has high fan-factor in the form of landings in the mountains, sandy spits in the sea and other remote and beautiful places. + low-budget STOL competitions, competitions of the flight skills and engineering solutions. And of course, the relatively low cost of the aircraft. $ 30,000 for a kit, and if there is no more money - you build it yourself in the garage and meanwhile collect money for used Rotax engine at around 7k euro. If you have no time, but finances - it will be built by experienced team, and you could buy a new turbocharged engine. Or even factory built aircraft. The main idea is that a young person has variability to join aviation.
So why not choosing a helicopter? it can land anywhere, right? The limitation and achievement of landing in what would be considered marginal by most of the pilots - is a key.
But also 1 hour of flying will cost you just 15 liters of mogas

The main idea is creating a young community in our homeland and discover other countries like Montenegro where we can make bush flying camps.
By now we have experimented with different propellers, engines, seat disposition. We aim to get ultimate bush plane and film the aesthetics of safari flying. Including winter flying with skis, flying with floats and high altitude landings.
Most aviators are, by necessity, restricted to runways of some sort during the summer months, but winter offers a whole new range of possible "airports", with literally thousands of level landing sites within reach of many northern locales. These landing sites are often lakes and rivers, but with sufficient snow cover, ski-equipped aircraft can land virtually anywhere that’s relatively level, and even some places that are very definitely not level.
Allows you to find the joy of discovery, serendipity. Setting flying tasks. Naming discovered landing sites with your own name on the GPS maps. Sharing airplane camping and formation flying. Always learning. Always exploring and competing.
