The Pipistrel Virus is a light aircraft manufactured in Slovenia and sold as an ultralight, homebuilt kit, or light-sport aircraft. It is a high-wing, cantilever monoplane of pod-and-boom configuration with a T-tail and air brakes. The cabin has two seats side-by-side.

Virus SW 121 EASA Type Certified CS-LSA The Virus SW 121 is the most advanced CS-LSA class airplane with full Type Certificate from EASA! Features dual glass cockpit, full-featured 2-axis digital autopilot, air brakes for enhanced descent and is certified for towing with the optional glider-towing equipment. The certified engine and certified propeller offer excellent performance, short take-off and landing and high cruise speed. Low consumption and the use of mogas lower the operating costs and offer extreme range at small cost! The Virus SW 121 offers a complete package of excellent performance and NAV/COM/GPS glass cockpit avionics. The Virus SW 121 is based on the popular award winning Virus SW 100 in a 600 kg MTOW configuration with a 100 hp Rotax certified engine, auto-pilot and with dual Garmin G3X glass cockpit and a large number of small enhancements that makes this aircraft the best in its category.

Ideal for Flight Schools The Virus SW 121 is EASA Type Certified with no limitations. In fact it's even approved for Intentional Spins!

It's equiped for Night VFR and for IMC training and with full dual controls. This allows a Flight School to all the training on the same aircraft for AB Inito training for both PPL and CPL Licenses. When you then add, that this aircraft is very low on maintenance with its Rotax 912 engine (with TBO of 2000 hours) and all-carbon composite airframe (no corrosion) and that it has a low fuel consumption of 18 liters/hour (MOGAS RON 95), then you can see why this aircraft is ideal for a flight school. With the Virus SW 121 you avoid having one (cheaper) aircraft for the initial training and another aircraft for the more complex things such as IMC and spins. Travel with 135 kts (250 km/h) and a low fuel consumption of just 18 liters/hour (MOGAS) What is good for a flight school is also good for private use. When you then add that the Virus SW 121 cruises 135 kts (250 km/h) and burns only 18 liters of 95 RON MOGAS (normal 95 oct unleaded car gas), then you can see that it's great for travelling too! This corresponds to 7,2 liters per 100 km which is as good as many modern cars.

Using a Fender Strat, we managed to pinpoint some great tones by setting combinations of treble, mid and bright. Visual sound jekyll and hyde v1 manual pdf. Cutting the mids results in a tighter sound that responds well to high-output pickups. That said, the mid-range control seems quite subtle on single-coils, although it really comes into its own on humbuckers. Boosting the mid frequencies adds plenty of thick, focused sustain ideal for use with vintage-voiced humbuckers. As it happens, the bright switch affects the bass response; while the treble control seems to leave the bottom end unaffected, the bright switch raises the entire tonal spectrum of the pedal considerably.

The difference is that you travel with 250 km/h and you travel directly and avoid any traffic congestions (and it's much more fun!). The range distance of 1189 km (642 nm and with 30 minutes reserve) lets you cover a good part of Europe without stops. NASA awarded performance With a ground roll of just 160 meters and a takeoff distance over 15 m obstacle of 320 meters the Virus SW 121 can operate from almost any airfield. The Flaps and Airbrakes ensures that you can land securely on short runways. The Virus SW 121 can operate from airfields as high as 10.000 ft MSL and has a service cieling 16.000 ft MSL which lets you overfly terrain higher than 4500 meters (15.000 ft).

It was performance figures like these that allowed the Virus SW 80/100 to win the NASA PAV challenge in 2007 and the NASA GAT centennial challenge in 2008. The Virus SW 80/100 and thereby the Virus SW 121 have been further refined and optimized for even better performance since then. Glider and banner towing The Virus SW 121 can be equiped with a tow hook for glider and banner towing. It is approved for towing gliders of up to 600 kg.

With gliders up to 600 kg it only needs 500 meters take off distance (over a 15 m obstacle). The feedback from the use of the Virus SW 121 for glider towing is that even with its relatively small engine, it outperforms most other tow aircraft. The climb rate when airborne is higher. This is due to the better earodynamics of the Virus SW 121 (it has a glide ratio of 17:1). Better climb rate means faster aero tows and when you add the low fuel consumption and the use of normal MOGAS instead of AVGAS, then the operating costs per aero tow is considerably lower than with other aircraft. Safety The Virus SW 121 can be called the 300 km/h (160 kts) LSA, but it's much more than that.

With a turbulence penetration speed (green arc) of 220 km/h (120 kts) and the VNE of 302 km/h (163 kts), you can take advantage of high-speed cruise even in strong turbulence. The cockpit remains quiet and comfortable throughout the flight! The Virus SW 121 has the largest flight safety margins in its category. The Virus SW 121 comes standard equipped with a total rescue system, deployable even at maximum speeds and close to the terrain.
