ALTO NG
New version of the popular all metal ALTO aircraft is the outcome of the new Czech certification UL-2 with 600 kg MTOW. There has been no change to the flight characteristics and handling qualities of the aircraft, the aircraft has been improved thanks to more than fifteen years of experience with the aircraft in operation by flight schools, aeroclubs, new and experienced pilots in the Czech Republic and abroad.
All-metal Aircraft with 600 kg MTOW
ALTO is a single-engine, two-seat, self-supporting monoplane. The aircraft was designed as a simple all-metal design suitable for assembly in amateur conditions, yet providing sufficient performance, corresponding to the standards in this category, low maintenance costs and easy and comfortable flight control. The aircraft is equipped with a proven ROTAX 912 ULs engine, providing sufficient power in its category. GALAXY GRS rescue system and glider tow can be installed upon request.
Direct Fly currently only produces the ALTO NG version, production of previous ALTO 912 TG model was terminated in 2022.
BASIC KIT
The disassembled ALTO BASIC KIT is suitable for experienced builders. It includes all the parts needed for the airframe – wings and aircraft fuselage. All parts are machined on CNC milling cutters, bent, folded, pressed and welded. For building the aircraft from this kit, the usual workshop equipment – flat table, agraffes and suitable pliers is sufficient.
QUICK KIT
Fully finished aircraft airframe. The builder installs the engine, avionics, interior, finishes the canopy and installs electrical and fuel parts and paints the aircraft. It does not include the engine, engine bed, electrical installation, instrumentation, ventilation controls, heating, upholstered seats, seat belts and varnish. However, extra kit parts can be ordered at the customer’s request.
READY TO FLY
Finished aircraft equipped with the Rotax 912 ULS engine and all other installations. In default configuration, the aircraft is equipped with hydraulic brakes with a central control lever, electric flap control and electric trim on the horizontal rudder. The exterior of the aircraft is made in a single color spray, the interior and the seats are upholstered with cloth.
Alto Offer
ALTO NG, as its predecessor, is available in three completition stages, as a disassembled BASIC KIT, assembled airframe as QUICK KIT and fully assembled aircraft as READY TO FLY. Each kit is complemented with appropriate drawing documentation and detailed manuals.
From the very beginning Alto has been designed as a very simple all-metal aircraft suitable for building in amateur conditions, without the need for special workshop equipment and tools. For experienced builders we offer the disassembled ALTO kit.
