Preceptor STOL King

Preceptor STOL King: The Ultimate Off-Road Aircraft

The Preceptor STOL King is a two-seat, amateur-built aircraft designed for extreme short takeoffs and landings (STOL). Think of it as an off-road vehicle for the sky. It’s built to operate from very rough, unprepared fields, thanks to its tall, rugged landing gear and incredible slow-flight capabilities.

Its construction is traditional and strong, using a welded steel tube frame and fabric-covered wings. For convenience, the wings can be folded for storage or transport.

Performance Highlights

This aircraft’s specialty is flying extremely slowly and using tiny spaces to land and take off. Its performance varies depending on the engine installed (from 75 to 150 hp).
