After I have preordered my Aurora, how long will I need to wait for it to be delivered?

What is the Aurora's cruise speed and fuel consumption?
Estimated cruise true airspeed is 167 km/h (90 kts). This depends heavily on the power used, weight and altitude flown. The cruise fuel consumption depends on weight and speed, however, it varies between 14-18 liters per hour(3.7-4.8 US Gal)
How should the Aurora LSA be serviced?
Most of the service can be done by the owner, but for major overhauls a licenced mechanic needs to be involved.
What is the plane's main building material?
Our Aurora is primarily built of wood, that is spruce and birch. In addition, light and strong carbon fibre is used in some areas, such as the cockpit area.
Will the Aurora LSA be certified?
Yes, we are currently working with EASA (European Union Aviation Safety Agency) to obtain an LSA certification, after wich we will apply for an FAA certification.
Is wood a good construction material for planes?
To quote the LAA (Light Aircraft Association): "It is stronger for its weight than any other material except for certain alloy steels". (LAA, 'AIRCRAFT WOOD INFORMATION', TL 1.14 Issue 2 1 Jan 2008). Wood does not corrode. Wooden structure stands impacts well, and is easy to repair. Wood has been used in aviation since its inception, and with Atol since 1988 and is still today a good choice.
What is the Aurora LSA's endurance?
You can fly for up to 6 hours with our Aurora.
How much payload can Atol Aviation's LSA handle?

Why should I buy an Aurora LSA from Atol Aviation?
Because it is predictable and stable, both in the air and on water or ground. Therefore, it is also a great trainer aircraft. The Aurora has been engineered according to and exceeding the current airworthiness requirements set by the international aviation authorities and will be built respecting the high quality standards typical to the Finnish/Scandinavian industry.
The Aurora has a very favorable combination of low operating costs, high payload, range and versatility. The folding wings makes for easy storage on ground and the rearwards opening canopy allows for easy boarding and exiting the plane when operating on water. As the primary structure of the airplane is wood, the carbon footprint of the production is low.
