The Five is the only 6 seat aircraft available offering true off-airport performance. Amazing useful load and wide CG range means most likely “if it fits it ships.” Did you know that a properly equipped Five can depart an airport, IFR cruise across the country and land on a 500 ft gravel bar while carrying everything needed for the weekend? The Five truly embodies our mission, “built for the journey.”
