Phoenix Correction

Gemini Sparkle

Key Takeaways:

  • Urban Air USA, previously importing the Lambada motorglider, is being purchased with plans to return the Samba XXL and Lambada to production.
  • Phoenix Air S.R.O. and Lee Aviation LLC (dba Phoenix Air USA), which handle the Phoenix motorglider, are distinct companies unrelated to Urban Air.
  • Evektor's previously mentioned direct-sale program is still in the planning stages, and details, including the potential for a different program, are being worked out.

Whoopsie.  In my last post on the Phoenix motorglider, I had some incorrect info that Jim Lee set me right on, so here’s the skinny. *** Urban Air USA, which Jim represented and which imported and marketed the Lambada motorglider is being purchased, he said, “with plans to return the Samba XXL (composite low wing SLSA) and Lambada (SLSA motorglider) to production.” *** Jim also notes Phoenix Air S.R.O. and his Lee Aviation LLC, dba Phoenix Air USA, are completely different companies with no relationship to Urban Air. *** Also, I’d mentioned Evektor’s new direct-sale program, but Mr. Lee also noted that Evektor is still working out the details and may not do direct sale ops but some other program instead. *** I’ve got queries into the Czech company and will update once I hear. *** Thanks for the clarifications, Jim!
