Hi
Good news from Hansen Air Group of Georgia, USA - they confirm that they have two new build FK-12 Comets on order for delivery to the US in late 2011.
These two aircraft will be fitted with the brand new Lycoming IO-233 engine ( rather than the normal Rotax 912 ) - the new engine will be installed by Renegade Light Sport - this will allow the FK-12 Comet to operate as an aerobatic Light Sports Aircraft ( LSA ) in the US.
More info on the new Lycoming IO-233 engine here -
