Hi Folk,
Update from Aeropup Australia.
Yes, we are manufacturing Aeropups at Gympie Airport Queensland.
There have been issues with Local Gympie Council and after 8 Years we have finally solved the challenge. 2 Senior Council employees were dismissed after inappropriate actions against us at the Airport. The Gympie Mayor and Gympie Council CEO are good people, and we can now continue to manufacture the Aeropup with no further hinderance.
The last 5 Years we have built new welding jigs for the complete Aircraft. Accuracy has never been better.
Aeropup production is now in full swing with 15 kits under construction.
Supply of kits, as of this moment, very short lead times.
New instructions are only weeks away.
Production now consists of full CNC tube coping in house.
Ribs CNC in house. Rib material Australian Hoop Pine marine Grade Plywood made in Brisbane Australia
We own the Dies to produce Spars and Lift Struts so no delays on these items. We have Tests sheets for the 3 profiles.
All steel tube is Military Grade 4130 and German manufactured. All with test certificates.
There was a mention of a Flight Manual with necessary information Yes, we do have this in the system, making some basic updates and will be available in a few weeks.
As the time goes on, we shall update you on progress.
Feel free to contact us
Kind regards
