History and construction

The trainer was developed by Philip Goard and Mark Redford. The machine is a low-wing aircraft with a non-retractable nose wheel landing gear. Under the closed cockpit with sliding hood there is space for two seats arranged side by side. The aircraft is powered by a four-cylinder Lycoming O-235 boxer engine with 88 kW and has a two-bladed propeller. The first flight took place in July 1995 and the flight test was completed in November 1998. Subsequently, a second, considerably modified machine was built as the Goair GT-1 trainer , in particular the fuselage was widened and ailerons and flaps were changed. The GT-1 was subsequently developed into the Brumby 600 . The aircraft is offered as a kit for amateur construction.
