1650R Eros
Eros built by Larry Isreal
In Greek mythology Eros was the god of love and attraction. We designed the Eros for pilots who love to fly, and you can certainly say it's attractive!
Our flagship aircraft, the Eros is the evolution of years of light plane design. It has all the qualities and features our customer were asking for:
- Heavy duty airframe, for large guys and large engines
- 24" wide enclosed cockpit
- Steel tube landing gear (no cross-axle)
- Easily removable wings
- Streamlined cowling, fully-enclosed engine
- Molded wingtips
- Wheel brakes
- Outstanding short field performance
Of course we're proud of the Eros and there are some outstanding examples out there, like the beautiful purple and white Eros above. Built by Larry Isreal, it won the Oshkosh Reserve Grand Champion Award in 1995. And Davy Lee Cooper's Grand Champion at Sun 'n Fun '98 (the beautiful black Eros in the photo set below).
