We represent Rotax for West Africa and offer engine and spares sales (often from stock), maintenance and training to the iRMT standards with certification. Whether you want an engine or a gasket, a service on your engine, advice or a to do a course please get in contact with us for the best Rotax support in West Africa.

We have been using the Rotax 912UL engine on readily available 91RON fuels for many years and use these engines on all of our own 2-seat fleet. If you are going on a trip in West Africa and want relability, outstanding support and servicing and to be able to fuel up with piece of mind almost anywhewre in the region - the Rotax 912UL is unbeatable!

DeltaHawk Diesel Engines ... Turbine Like Power & Reliability
at a Fraction of the Fuel

DeltaHawk - the most innovative and potentially reliable JET A1/Diesel engine available offering 160, 180 and 200Hp solutions – without electronics and with excellent fallback power in the event of in-flight techs. We are working hand-in-hand as the West African representative and technical partner to develop appropriate solutions for the CH801, standard, medical and multi-role and are ready to support the West African market.

Replacement engine solutions for many existing aircraft will be available during 2010 and increase in 2011+. Consider your ageing Cessna, Piper and get ready to experience an engine for your machine that you can actually get fuel, support and service for in West Africa! Certified and non-certified versions will soon be available.

(Note Jet A1/diesel may be stored above ground in drums much more safely than 100LL reducing dramatically fuel storage costs and enhancing safety, especially in bush-field locations for higher fuel capicity tank aircraft)

We offer full support for the Zenith CH and the X-Air range of aircraft. Kits, spares, builder assist of turn-key solutions, maintenance and repairs - talk to us!

CH701 - CH801 - X-Air-F - X-Air-H

Special Vehicles Division

Due to the lack of suitable ERV (Emergency Response Vehicle) solutions for rural conditions - such as those found on airfields and the surrounding areas - WAASPS SVD (Special Vehicles Division) is being established. Using the same techniques of 'light and strong' the ERV from WAASPS includes off-road capablities and equipment for first attender operations including, stretcher, paramedic box, firefighting equipment. Based on the robust, easy to maintain and 'bush ready' standards that make our aircraft so popular, SVD are ready to work with prospective clients towards meeting specific needs in the sub-region.

Maintenance

'Our well equipped workshops carry a wide range of spares and is able to produce many parts from stocks of 4130 and T6 sheet and tube materials for the CH range of aircraft.

Surveillance and surveys

Whether it is an agricultural survey or a coastal/border patrol our CH701 surveillance machine can stay aloft for over 10hours. Burning less than 15litres per hour on economy cruise, the quiet Rotax 912UL engine ensures discrete operations for civilian and military requirements. Air-to-ground video option and much more can be fitted to all of our aircraft.

Photo-video missions

All of our aircraft operate happily with doors off making the ideal platform for photographic and video missions. Low and slow and amongst the quietest aircraft in their category. Take a look at some of the views from the air!

Air-ambulance and mission aviation

THe CH801 can be equipped with a range of equipment including a stretcher option to carry injured or otherwise incapacitated passengers in this amazing STOL machine. Originally designed around the needs of missionaries in South America the CH801 adapts well to mission aviation in West Africa.

Multi-role aircraft

We are currently working on a multi-role aircraft capable of air-drops of up to 6 bags of rice or equivalent in tents and other supplies as well as public health aerial dispersal against malaria, river blindness, etc - and of course still able to convert to an air-ambulance in the shortest of times. Soon to offered with a JETA1/Diesel fuel engine ideal for the West African environment. with a predicted range of 1,500km, cruising at 100kts and needing less than 200m of runway for take off and landing this machine holds a great deal of potential for West Africa and meeting the growing needs.

Air Taxi

Soon to be announced air-taxi solutions - watch this space!

Adventures in the Air

Reports from visitors and pilots about their air-adventures at Kpong
