RDD Now Taking Orders for Dream Fulfillment: The LX7 Aircraft Conversion Package

Redmond, Oregon (PRWEB) April 05, 2016

Trade in an old Lancair IV-P for a beautiful new high-tech aircraft that is faster, safer, more comfortable -- and can go coast to coast without refueling? :

For just $550,000?

Yes, it's true. RDD Enterprises announced today that it is taking production reservations for its brand new LX7 Aircraft Conversion. The LX7 represents an exponential improvement on the IV-P in performance, safety, range and comfort.

“You won’t believe what they’re doing to the Lancair IV”, wrote Robert Goyer of Plane & Pilot in December. “The LX7, which all-up is slated to cost around the same as a new Cirrus SR22 G5 or Cessna TTx, will give the airplane much of the appeal of an FAA certificated high-performance single but with greater speed than you can find in a Part 23 model.”

The LX7 blows past previous industry standards in every relevant category, with a list of features and advantages so long that the plane has its own website (http://LX7aircraft.com). Highlights include:

• Handling: The LX7 expands on the aircraft manufacturing technologies that RDD has developed on experimental projects for Airbus and others. This gives the LX7 a stall speed of 63 knots, resulting in dramatically improved handling characteristics compared to the original IV-P.
• Avionics: Standard equipment for the LX7 includes a two-screen Garmin G3X Touch Flight Deck, the latest in WAAS technology coupled to the autopilot, with envelope protection and an emergency level function.
• Performance: The LX7 climbs at 2000 ft/min to reach cruising speeds of 260 KTAS @ 24 gph and 250 KTAS @ 18 gph. The combination of speed and endurance will take this plane miles beyond where other aircraft have to stop for fuel, making trips shorter and more enjoyable.
• Range: Coast to coast without stopping? It’s totally possible with the LX7, with reserves left over. This aircraft will fly over 2,100 miles before needing to make a fuel stop. Fuel capacity is 180 gallons.
• Safety: Full-aircraft BRS parachute; Garmin EFIS with Active Traffic, Forward looking terrain, synthetic vision, and Satellite and ADS-B weather; AmSafe inflatable seatbelts for the forward occupants; pressurized cabin environment; and single piece wing with dual spars.

“The LX7 offers owners an unparalleled combination of performance, safety, luxury and value,” says Dave McRae, one of RDD’s owners. “There’s just nothing else like it out there. I’ve been flying since 1989 and this airplane is like a traveling machine dream come true. I can easily fly from our facility in Redmond to just about anywhere I want to go without refueling. And the comfort level is superior to the original IV-P due to the increased leg room and passenger space. Flying with pressurization and greater fuel capacity increase confidence and peace of mind when tackling long distance flights.”

Customers can reserve their LX7 production spot today by calling 541-504-0305, or by filling out the contact form on the LX7 website (http://LX7aircraft.com). RDD will assist in identifying an eligible conversion aircraft if needed.

RDD will be displaying the LX7 fuselage, avionics and interior at the Sun ‘n Fun International Fly-in Expo in Lakeland, Florida, April 5-10. Interested parties can check out the highlights of this amazing personal aircraft at Booth MD-015C.
