Sportsman Testimonials
 |
"We do a lot of low level tracking of radio tagged animals and fish. At 85knots we were getting a stall buzzer and real loose, soft ailerons... After installation of the cuff we could operate at 65 knots." Gary Pearson, Biologist and pilot for the Alaska State Fish and Game, Air Alaska.

"As I slowed down to a higher and progressively higher angle of attack, there was a remarkable lightness (no heaviness when slow) and eventually an actual refusal to stall, only mushing down comfortably. The other kits... feel like they have about half the answer." Robert Fulton |
 |
"...agree that the aircraft is safer with the Sportsman kit. It is much more stable at slow speeds, particularly in gusty conditions. It has far better response as the aileron control is better at slower speeds." Lindair Services, Canada |

"Stalls are just a mushing effect & I can do slow flight maneuvers (turns, climbs, & descents) with the airspeed needle fluttering off zero." John Freeman |

"As per our discussion regarding Cessna aircraft now operating with the Sportsman Wing Kit installed with the Robertson STOL, I have talked to two operators. Both agree that the aircraft is safer with the Sportsman Kit. It is much more stable at slow speeds, particularly in gusty conditions. It has far better response as the aileron control is better at slower speeds. Both operators would not put the Robertson Kit on over the Sportsman as they feel that the Sportsman kit does as well on its own. The rigging problems of the Roberson, the wear and tear on the hinges and some of its handling characteristics are poor and not worth the expense. The Sportsman addition to the Robertson equipped aircraft does make it a much safer, more stable and better performing aircraft." Mike Gore |

"It was awesome. This one change was bigger than any other change that I have done." Bobby Unser, Racecar Driver & Developer |
 |
"We have found that our plane now stalls at between 10 and 15 knots slower that the figure published in the operation manual, depending on the flap setting. It now also has a TAS equalling that published, which it did not achieve before modification." Russell Lee "Improving the performance and safety of your Cessna" |
