In the October/November 2013 issue of Midwest Flyer Magazine, the S-LSA manufacturer “SkyReach” was referred to as the “Skyranch” by mistake. The engine horsepowers mentioned were also incorrect.
The U.S. distributor for SkyReach is AeroSport, LLC in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin. AeroSport says that the manufacturer recommends the Rotax series engines in their “BushCat” model, starting with the 65 hp 582 up to the 912ULS, which has a maximum horsepower of 100 hp, and not 160 hp as previously reported. Additionally, the gross weight stated was also not correct. The gross weight of the nosewheel and taildragger versions of the BushCat is 1245 lbs, and 1430 lbs for the amphibian float version.
The BushCat is available as a certified special or experimental light sport aircraft (SLSA or ELSA), or it may be built as an experimental amateur built aircraft (EABA). It is available in tailwheel and nosewheel configurations, has a 47 1/2-inch wide cabin, good visibility, and a useful payload up to 670 lbs.
AeroSport, LLC is located on a private grass strip 2 miles north of Galt Airport (10C) near Twin Lakes in southeast Wisconsin. For buyers who would like to “quick build” the aircraft, AeroSport has a guesthouse on premises.
