GENESIS…according to Webster, “the origin, or coming into being”. An appropriate name for a design as innovative and original as the flagship of the SlipStream pusher line of aircraft kits. Originally designed and prototyped in 1992, the GENESIS has been hailed by the industry for its performance, flight characteristics and sexy styling.
The GENESIS is the answer for the pilot who wants a modern, two-place, roomy, side-by-side aircraft for a price below that of a 30-year old Cessna. Available with your choice of dual yoke controls or center stick, the GENESIS can be configured to satisfy your exacting requirements. Equipped with the standard Rotax 582, and in solo configuration, take-off roll is a mere 100 feet, with a 250 foot landing roll and a climb rate of 1,000 fpm. The GENESIS base price also includes dual 10-gallon wing tanks to provide for four hours of cross-country enjoyment.
Worried about useful load? Don’t be! With an average empty weight of 595 lbs., the GENESIS equipped with the standard Rotax 582 has a useful load of 605 lbs. Purchase any of the larger optional powerplants, and the gross weight capability increases to 1320 lbs., providing for an even larger useful load. Still not enough? The all new HD option is the answer, with a "beefed up" airframe capable of safely carrying up to 1600 lbs. and an unbelievable useful load envelope of over 800 lbs.! We have tested and proven all of our offered engine options, so your choice is limited only by your performance requirements and available budget.
In terms of build time the GENESIS typically will take about 400 hours to complete, and that’s about as low as you’ll find for a real enclosed cabin aircraft. All of the welding and fabrication is done before the kits leave our plant, and our manuals are clearly written with easy step by step instructions, and numerous photos, illustrations and CAD drawings, so even a novice builder can be up and flying in no time.
