TOPAZ
The cantilevered high wing Topaz represents phenomenal performance and quality at an exceptional ‘ready to fly’ price point. With the optional Rotax 912 ULS 100hp engine this aircraft will perform at a level few other can achieve for the same money. Although the Topaz shares a few key attributes with the JK-05, the wing features separate flap and aileron controls as opposed to full length flaperons. The latest model also features 86 or optional 100 litre wing tanks and this has enabled a large baggage area behind the seats which is accessible through two lockable hatches from outside the aircraft. The Polish manufacturers have added a stunning new exclusive interior option with a choice of painted exterior finishes that are attracting a lot of attention.
The Topaz will cruise comfortably at more than 108 knots and climb at sea level more than seven meters per second, whilst delivering economy rates of only 12 litres / hour. When you consider this fact behind a stock standard Rotax 80hp 912 motor at high altitude, you begin to realise that this is no ordinary design. If you are in the market for a full composite high wing that is ‘big man’ friendly and beautifully presented the Topaz will meet your expectations every time.
The Topaz boasts a 17:1 glide ratio and this clearly demonstrates what is achievable from with this new generation of composites. The factory has always identified with what customers really want in terms of value over performance. For this reason, the factory has retained an extremely healthy order book, even in these difficult times.
