            Storm Century 
      
      
        
      
            
            
            
              
            
              
            
            Since its introduction in 1992, the 
            Storm 300 series has become very popular with first-time pilots and 
            low-time builders. The Storm 300 model is designed to achieve 
            maximum performance and efficiency with the new generation engines: 
            the six-cylinder Jabiru, the 80 or 100-hp Rotax 912S, and Subaru 
            automotive conversions. 
             
            The wing flaps keep the stall speed low for recreational pilots.  
             
            The Storm Century has been configured to take full advantage of its 
            increased useful load. New and larger wing tanks offer a larger fuel 
            capacity (24 US Gal. per side) resulting in superior range and 
            endurance, and the baggage area behind the seat has also been 
            increased to the point that it is possible to install 2 jump seats 
            for children. The baggage compartment has a high weight limit 
            considering the size and class of this aircraft. 
             
            The Storm 300 is a high performance two-place, low-wing, tractor 
            sport plane. Design features include all-metal construction, fixed 
            landing gear with steerable nose gear for the tricycle gear version. 
            The Storm 300 is a true high performance airplane with the ability 
            to make 750 mile cross country trips at cruise speed and 1000 miles 
            for the Century version with standard wing tanks.  
             
            An adequate supply of cool fresh air is available through forward 
            inlets; this air can also be heated using an optional heater using 
            either the exhaust muffler or a water radiator for engines such as 
            the Rotax 912 series. The Rotax 912 Series is used in certified 
            aircraft such as the Diamond Katana and has a high TBO of 1500 hours 
            or more. It operates very well on automotive fuel and fuel burns are 
            efficient. 
            Using modern day airfoil technology, clean cabin lines, and 
            non-complex systems, the Storm 300 and Storm Century exceed most 
            other aircraft in their class – in efficiency, performance, 
            build-time and simplicity. The Storm 300 performs best at both low 
            and high altitudes. Piloting workload can be shared by two pilots 
            owing to the dual controls, and the Storm 300 and Storm Century’s 
            incredible stability and spacious instrument panel make them 
            excellent platforms for IFR flying. With extremely crisp controls 
            and excellent stability and control, the Storm 300 and Storm Century 
            allow you to fly long distances with minimal pilot fatigue, yet they 
            will manoeuvre with the best of the two-seat sport planes. Once on 
            the ground, the Storm 300 and Storm Century have the same docile 
            ground handling characteristics. 
            Making the best even better... 
             
            Sleek, fast, safe and efficient...these are the words that describe 
            the entire range of Storm 300 and Storm Century sport aircraft. The 
            modern aerodynamic design of the Storm 300 and Storm Century means 
            all outside surfaces are generating lift, providing fuel efficiency 
            and stability. The Storm 300 and Storm Century are easy to build, 
            easy to fly, true high performance airplane with the ability to make 
            long cross country trips. No other aircraft in this class offers the 
            quality, performance, stability, comfort, styling and superior 
            design of the standard Storm 300 and Storm Century. The standard 
            Storm 300 and Storm Century offer slightly faster cruise, top speed, 
            and roll rate over that of the Storm 280. The Storm 300 and Storm 
            Century kits are constructed with the finest quality materials 
            available. The aluminium is supplied by leaders in the aerospace 
            industry. Most of the hardware, metal, parts and components are 
            either certified aircraft quality or of comparable quality . Because 
            materials invested in the construction of your kit are so important, 
            you simply get the BEST. 
             
            The astonishing performance of the Storm 300 and Storm Century 
            demonstrates the outstanding skills of the design and engineering 
            team that collaborated to bring the aircraft to its present refined 
            state. The use of the best materials, the latest design techniques 
            and construction methods, together with rigorous quality control 
            procedures, means that S.G.Aviation is setting the foundation for a 
            new standard in the industry. With a choice of power plants from 
            mild to wild the Storm 300 and Storm Century can be tailored to your 
            distinctive taste. And wherever you are in the world you can always 
            be sure of S.G.Aviation support. The Storm 300 and Storm Century
