Australian Aircraft Kits Hornet STOL  The Australian Aircraft Kits Hornet STOL is an Australian ultralight aircraft, designed and produced by Australian Aircraft Kits and introduced in 2004. The aircraft is supplied as a kit for amateur construction or as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft. Designed for STOL operations in the Australian outback and cattle mustering, the Hornet STOL features a strut-braced high-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit, fixed conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration. The aircraft is made from aluminium all-metal construction. Its span wing employs flaps and is supported by V-struts with jury struts. Standard engines available are the Rotax 912ULS, Rotax 914, but the Rotec R2800 radial engine or the Lycoming O-320 four-stroke powerplants can be fitted. Tundra tires are usually fitted for off-airport operations.
