As well, the Challenger has one of the widest speed envelopes of any recreational airplane. The 4 to 1 speed range from 24 to 96 mph, far exceeds the speed range of standard Cessnas and Pipers. This extraordinary envelope gives you the best of both worlds, a high end for cross country trips and a safe and forgiving low speed capability for that magic low and slow ultralight experience. Most conventional airplanes obstruct your view. The high, complex instrument panel blocks the view over the nose.
Low wings block out the earth below while high wings block out the sky above.
In a conventional high wing the pilot flies blind in the turns. The Challenger's tandem seating places the pilot ahead of the wing for magnificent helicopter style visibility in all directions - even in the turns. The Challenger's airframe is built by the factory to ensure a professionally crafted, airworthy airplane built right without having to rely on your construction skills. It also ensures truly low assembly time for an easy and fun project you will complete with confidence. If you'd prefer to do nothing but fly, experienced builders are available to do it for you.
