The Vision is brought to you by American Affordable Aircraft. It is an economical, 2 seat, all composite aircraft that is built from PROVEN construction manuals. DESIGNED FOR FIRST TIME BUILDERS, this rugged performer had a prototype airframe cost of less than $6000.00 While raw material costs have risen in the last years this still represents the best value for product available. Each of the sub-assemblies cost less than $500.00 on the prototype. This is a plane that can actually be financed with a credit card if desired. It is being constructed by first time builders to test the construction manuals and no construction manuals were sold until testing of the prototype. There are currently many under construction. The plane is all composite with no incompatible wood understructure and uses NO fuel susceptible styrene foams. This is a plans built plane with supplemental parts. This means you can build it from our detailed manuals and raw materials or you can purchase pre formed parts from us and speed up the process. The Vision is the only all composite, plans built, 2 seat sport aircraft that uses a conventional - non canard- platform.

 

In these days of company instability a person is careless if they don't get enough to finish a plane when they start. There have been several kit aircraft that have left people high and dry with a partial project started. The Vision addresses those concerns by being a plans built aircraft with optional parts. If you choose to look at the plane like a kit plane and buy pre-molded assemblies you still don't have to worry about whether the plane can be completed if those parts are no longer available. This sport was built on plans built aircraft and they are still the safest bet. DO NOT BUY ANY PLANE UNLESS YOU CAN GET THE PLANS FOR IT. This simple lesson should not have to be repeated as often as it is in the sport aircraft movement but if you don't have the plans and the company goes away you have a very expensive lawn ornament. Think about that and tell your friends to think about it when they are about to spend their hard earned money. There are several planes out there to choose from that offer plans with supplemental parts.

 

Vision Sport Experimental Aircraft

This is Sean Ponsonby's Serial #0002 plane. He is one of several Beta Builders who took on early construction of the Vision to prove the plans BEFORE they went on sale to the public. The prototype was built FROM the construction manuals as his is. There are a a growing number moving along right now. Sean's plane was entirely fabricated in a two car garage, This was the first assembled rollout.

Vision Sport Experimental Aircraft Skin type

The construction of the Vision is the composite method that is usually only used in pre-formed kits. There is NO HOT WIRING of fuel susceptible foams and there is not the associated weight. There IS a FULL sandwich skin on both sides and not the simple outer fiberglass surface that is used on several other planes. Yet it is still done without any molds.

Vision Sport Experimental Aircraft with 6' 7


Brian Ehrler is 6'7" and 245 lbs. How does he fit in a Vision? Just take a look !
Brian's plane incorporates the 44" cockpit modification that most builders are doing and a 1" raise on the turtledeck. Try modifying most pre-formed kits like that!

Here is a comparison we are frequently asked about.

This is the same 6'3" person in the Vision prototype and in a smaller wood structured plane.
