Overview
The fastest, most advanced Bristell.
The RG is the only Bristell with retractable landing gear, and it changes everything. With the gear tucked away, drag falls and cruise climbs to 155 KTAS. Single Lever Power Control with FADEC engine management makes that performance effortless to fly, while a 1,400+ km range turns long cross-country trips into single legs. Available with German and Israeli ultralight certification.
About
Built to cover distance.
What sets the RG apart is the gear that folds away. It is the only Bristell with retractable landing gear, and once it is up the airframe runs cleaner, drag drops and the cruise climbs toward 155 KTAS. Single Lever Power Control with FADEC keeps that speed simple to manage: you set the power and let the aircraft do the work.
It is a true touring machine. A 1,400+ km range turns trips that used to need a fuel stop into a single, efficient leg, and the widest cabin in its class keeps two comfortable for the long days the RG is made for. When the goal is to go fast and go far, this is the Bristell to fly.
Highlights
Engineered for speed.
From retractable gear to a turbocharged Rotax 916 iS and Single Lever Power Control, every part of the RG is chosen to fly faster and farther on less fuel.
Retractable landing gear
The defining feature of the RG. Gear up, the airframe runs cleaner: less drag, more speed, and noticeably better fuel efficiency on every cross-country leg.
Single Lever Power Control
SLPC pairs throttle and propeller into one lever, and with FADEC managing the engine, you simply set the power and fly.
Built for long-range touring
1,400+ km of range turns destinations that used to need a fuel stop into a single, efficient leg.
Constant-speed propeller
A constant-speed propeller keeps the engine in its sweet spot from take-off through high-speed cruise.
Turbocharged Rotax 916 iS
160 HP of turbocharged, fuel-injected power: the engine that takes the RG to its 155 KTAS top cruise.
The widest cabin in its class
130 cm of shoulder room and 55 kg of luggage capacity, comfortable enough for the long days the RG is made for.
Interior
A cockpit made for the long haul.
The RG cabin is built for hours in the air: a single power lever within easy reach, a full-glass panel ahead, and finishes trimmed to order. Your materials, your colors, your cockpit.
With the widest cabin in its class, electric flaps and trim and soft LED lighting, it stays comfortable from the first leg to the last on a full day of touring.
