So -if you are looking for a distinctive, high performance sport aircraft, take a look at the Radial Rocket. The Rocket combines a rugged composite airframe with the famous M-14 360-400+ horsepower radial engine, resulting in awesome aerobatic and cross-country performance accompanied by one of the best sounds in aviation. The distinctive Radial Rocket design blends style, sound and performance, evoking the look and feel of a radial engine fighter. With the Radial Rocket, experience flying excitement without compromise while enjoying a spacious comfortable cockpit, seating two in tandem. Aerobatic flight in the Radial Rocket is enhanced by the view through the sliding bubble canopy. Cross-country range easily exceeding 1000 statute miles is complimented by plenty of baggage storage space - a header baggage area forward of the instrument panel, and an aft baggage area located behind the copilot seat are each accessed by external doors, making for easy loading/unloading.

The Radial Rocket - Radial Power and Performance Now Available with Retractable Landing Gear!

That's right! - The Radial Rocket is now available with a tri-cycle /retractable landing gear configuration, taking the Radial Rocket design to a new level, with a new look and even more performance. The new gear configuration will greatly enhance ease of gound handling and over-the-nose visibility during ground operations. Although the tailwheel configured Radial Rocket has excellent ground handling manners, a tailwheel configuration may not be right for every pilot. With the new gear configuration, even more pilots will be able to comfortably enjoy the look, feel, power and performance of the Radial Rocket. The first retract gear airframe is currently nearing completion, with test flights scheduled in July 2010. At that time we will be able to report on performance improvements. See the photo-artist renderings below showing what we expect the retract Rocket to look like, and click on the Radial Rocket RG tab to check on progress and details.
