ZIGOLO MG12

The Aviad Zigolo MG12 is SSDR \ FAR 103 motor glider designed and manufactured in Italy By AVIAD di Francesco Di Martino.

Zigolo Mg12 an innovation Inspired by Mike Sandlin's  Goat Airchair who made his idea freely available on his web site. We have developed this idea to make available to customers a glider kit powered by  PPG motor with improved construction, low cost production and certification in countries where necessary.

Zigolo Mg12 offering an alternative flying experience.It has slow flight characteristics and a short landing and takeoff distance of 100 feet. This is a new departure in the form of a minimal three axis SSDR Motor Glider perfectly suited for fun flying.

Specifically designed for simple construction and low cost of ownership, it has a traditional tubular frame structure and simple bonded fabric covering thus providing a very robust design.

It incorporates several additional novel design features, a forward pilot cockpit protected by the fuselage frame work and providing an exceptionally wide field of view for improved airmanship.

The rear mounted pusher engine with propeller and the fuel tank are also contained within the airframe offering further protection.

The joy stick mounted engine throttle control further simplifies the aircraft’s flight controls enabling additional tasks to be achieved by the pilot in flight.

Additionally the shock absorbing undercarriage and the impact skid beneath the pilots seat further protects the occupant in cases of heavier than normal landings.

A ballistic parachute recovery system is included as a standard item for ultimate emergency use.

The Zigolos design also provides easily constructed airframe assembly modules and is ideally suited for road trailer transportation.

It can be supplied with a storage racking system design for home use but which may easily be adapted for a transportation trailer.

The aircraft’s modular assembly enables a ready to fly aircraft to be achieved within about one hour after reaching the chosen airfield.

Fly with a speed range of 35-75 km \ hr (22-46 m.p.h.) and good stability.

The Zigolo may be easily transported on a small utility trailer.

MINIMALISTIC FLYING! Everything you need and not much else! Take off in 120 feet, climb with the 25hp, feel the thermals and soar like an Eagle!
