Overview
With the easy-to-fly look and feel of a light sport aircraft but with the touring and turbulence handling capabilities of a much bigger cross-country steed, the Brumby 600 LSA low wing gives you the best of both worlds.
Having a less serious nature than its high wing sibling, the Brumby 600 LSA is flying enjoyment at its best. Its light and responsive handling, its excellent visibility and its performance in the climb and cruise ensures this aircraft will put the fun back in flying.
Construction
Designed along side the 610, the Brumby 600 has the capabiltity to handle the regular abuse of student pilots and we all know that students can be hard on aircraft, especially in the touch down phase of the landing, and like the 610, the 600 acknowledge that reality by coming equipped with an undercarriage manufactured from heavy duty, high quality, spring steel legs, secured to the chrome-molly vanadium airframe by particularly hefty attachment bolts. All Brumby 600 are manufactured from the highest quality aluminium and steel material and components.
Flight Characteristics
Pilots converting from general aviation particularly will appreciate the qualities of the Brumby 600 LSA. The spacious and open feel of the big bubbly canopy provides superb visibility. The 600’s lighter and more responsive feel will be refreshingly different, and the luxury of its glass cockpit panel will show GA pilots that they can have the latest technology in the cockpitfor relatively little money compared to the older “steam” instruments they are used to. The specs can’t show you how well the 600 LSA handles the vagaries of wind and turbulence that are part-and-parcel of longer cross-country trips. The truth is that the Brumby 600 LSA is built like a little general aviation aircraft and you can feel that extra strength when flying.
Performance
For the private owner, in addition to the responsive handling qualities, stabilty and generous cockpit space afforded by the 600, there exists a long-legged cross-country performer that excels in both air speed and endurance. With 140 litres of fuel on-board, a cruise speed of 105 to 110 knots and a burn rate of 18 to 20 litres per hour, the Brumby 600 has the capacity to take you and your passenger on a 6 hour flight before needing to re-fuel. While in practice that’s unlikely to happen, it’s certain that the ability to stay aloft for that length of time amounts to one big insurance policy if the weather turns nasty and you need more time in the air to look for an alternate landing area.
