UNLIMITED FREEDOM. NO COMPROMISES.
If you’re looking for the perfect balance of versatility, aerobatic performance, speed, and comfort, nothing compares to the GB1 GameBird.
The GB1 is a no-compromise unlimited aerobatic aircraft that was designed to satisfy the most demanding aerobatic pilot. Engineered from the outset to be the best aerobatic aircraft in the world, the GB1’s all carbon-fiber composite structure is light, strong and sleek. Its superior handling qualities provides docile slow speed and stall characteristics, easy spin recovery and exceptional stability in cruise. A 25-gallon acro tank means you get more aerobatic time. The 81-gallon total fuel capacity gives you greater mission capability and range.
The GB1 also offers a roomy, ergonomic cockpit designed for pilot and passenger comfort. The front seat of the GB1 wasn’t conceived as an afterthought – it can easily accommodate a 6-foot-plus individual in comfort with plenty of headroom to spare. Full dual aircraft, engine controls, adjustable rudder pedals and a dual-cockpit touchscreen avionics suite sets it apart from the competition.
Whether you’re tearing up the skies or cruising cross-country on a weekend getaway, the GB1 is beyond compare.
