SPARTAN M-18

M18 Spartan is the smallest of all Magni’s gyroplanes and is a real single seater intended for those pilots who are not particularly interested in two-seat flight and want to approach gyroplane flying with little expense.

The M18 Spartan is practical, basic and elegant and has the same stability and safety characteristics of all other Magni’s models. Due to its compact structure and light weight it is an extremely handy, easy to fly, enjoyable gyro that will provide great satisfaction. The M18 allows particularly short take-off and landing as well as reasonable cruising speeds. Particularly noteworthy are its low speed flight performances due to the action of its large rotor. The Spartan speed may range from a minimum of 20 mph to a maximum of 105 mph, with a cruising varying between 70 and 90 mph.

Despite its small size, the M18 Spartan ensures excellent performance even in turbulence conditions allowing serene and safe piloting.

As all others Magni’s gyroplanes, the M18 Spartan model is the result of a combination of high quality materials and manufacturing: SAE 4130 steel TIG welded airframe, control array with aeronautical bearings and bolts, components in composite materials manufactured according to strict quality standards, accurate finishing and highly reliable systems.

The neat and large instrument panel features altimeter and air-speed indicator as well as engine rev counter, Cylinder Head Temperature indicator, Hour Meter, rotor rev counter, rotor brake and battery recharge warning lights. Electric trim (and its related end-of-stroke indicator) is available as an option.

 

The M18 Spartan is powered by the well known two-stroke Rotax 582 with electric starter and 42 litre fuel capacity (main and auxiliary tanks) ensuring a 2 hour maximum range.

In conclusion, the Spartan is an easy-to-fly aircraft always ensuring great fun and safety!!
