Blue Heron Express Convertible

$12,750.00

The Blue Heron Express is a great way for the serious powered parachute enthusiast to start. This light-weight model easily converts from a single-place unit to a two-place trainer. The rear seat assembly is removable and an optional bracket is set in its place. The aluminum fuel tank can be plumbed for five or ten gallon capacity. Combined with an incredibly light airframe weight of only 245 pounds, the Blue Heron Express can conform completely to FAA Regulations Part 103 for single-place operation, while providing the ability to turn into a two-place trainer for those interested in pursuing an instructor's certification.
