Aerotrek A240 Really Stands Out at Midwest LSA Expo

By Carmelo Turdo

The golden yellow Aeropro Aerotrek A240 really stood out at the recent Midwest LSA Expo - it was very hard to miss even at the end of the ramp!  The Slovakian factory-made LSA costs less than $80,000 nicely equipped, and includes the novel folding wing feature for the custom U.S.-made trailer (for an additional $10,000 cost) or economical hangar storage.  Other features include a choice of conventional or tricycle landing gear, well-equipped and upgradable instrument panel, a variety of color choices and nearly 600lb payload.  Performance with the 100hp Rotax engine is sparkling, with climb rates from 800-1200fpm and speeds of 110 knots at 4.5gph fuel burn.  For more information on the Aerotrek models, visit http://www.aerotrek.aero/. 

Below is a flight review video of the conventional A220, and some views of the Aerotrek A240 on display at the LSA Expo:
