My current aerobatic aircraft since 2022

MX Aircraft MX-S Ghost Ship

The MX Aircraft MX-S is a purpose-built unlimited class aerobatic monoplane made in the USA. The aircraft features a 420 degrees/second roll rate and is capable of +/- 14gs, making it one of the most capable aerobatic aircraft in the world.

It is lighter than the Extra 330SC it replaced, yet more capable aerobatically. It offers greater range, better equipment, and improved comfort. With a 750 nm range and 180 kts cruise speed, it's an excellent cross-country aircraft as well.

I am working with MX Aircraft as a test pilot and engineer and am excited about the progress we are making on the design.
