Yahoo! - Finished. Finito. Done. Success. Mission Accomplished!
There's really nothing quite like the feeling of those first flights in your brand new, personally assembled, custom-built, airplane. Several Aerocomp customers have enjoyed that unique thrill recently. We'd like to introduce two that completed and flew their new Comp Air 7 turboprop airplanes this spring.

"First Place Finish" goes to the first customer to finish and fly a Comp Air 7. This was accomplished by Dr. Ray Ireland, of Alabama. Just about the time the factory began working on the prototype Walter 601-powered Comp Air 7, Dr. Ireland ordered a Comp Air 6 kit, which he originally intended to power with a piston engine.

Wheee! Splish - splash, we're takin' a bath. Aerocomp's new s-t-r-e-t-c-h version of the Comp Air 10 (dubbed the "10XL") is now on floats, ...and wow, is it fun!

This huge floatplane (32 feet 5 inches long; gross weight: 6000 lbs.) carriees the largest set of SuperFloats ever built.

The Comp Air 10XL, like Aerocomp's other products, is built from kits sold by the Merritt Island, FL company. The company specializes in manufacturing kits for modern all-composite airplanes. The Comp Air 10XL is the largest member of the Aerocomp family of airplanes. It's siblings include aircraft ranging in size from 2 to 11 seats, powered by engines of 65 to 650 hp, and cruising at speeds from 70 to 275 mph.

Aerocomp's airplanes may be built with conventional, tricycle, or float landing gear. Each model is easily customized to best suit the needs of each builder.
