Description:

Wilco Aviation is delighted to present for sale the Bristell NG5 Speed Wing, registration G-ZGAB, a truly outstanding example of this highly regarded aircraft. Currently located at our facility at Henstridge Airfield in the South West of England, it is available for viewing by appointment. For pilots seeking a beautifully engineered, reliable and comfortable light sport aircraft with genuine touring capability, this Bristell represents an opportunity not to be missed.

The Bristell NG5, now widely recognised as the Bristell Classic, has established itself as one of the most popular designs in the modern ultralight and light sport aircraft category. Designed by Milan Bristela and produced in the Czech Republic by BRM Aero, the aircraft has been created with a focus on combining strength, aerodynamic efficiency and exceptional comfort. Its low-wing configuration, side-by-side seating and tractor-mounted single engine deliver not only superb handling but also a flying experience that is both reassuring and highly enjoyable.

Crafted from aluminium, the Bristell NG5 boasts durability while keeping the structure light and agile. One of its most appealing features is the cabin, which at 130cm wide at the shoulders is the largest in its class. Pilots and passengers benefit from the sense of space, as well as the outstanding visibility afforded by the bubble canopy. This thoughtful design makes the aircraft a pleasure for both short local flights and long cross-country adventures, offering the kind of comfort usually associated with much larger machines.

G-ZGAB is powered by the ever-popular Rotax 912 ULS engine, producing 100hp. This engine choice has become the standard for many owners thanks to its enviable reputation for reliability, economy and ease of maintenance. It provides an excellent balance of power and efficiency, making it perfectly suited to the Bristell’s performance envelope. With a notably high useful load of 253.2 kgs, this aircraft combines spirited flying characteristics with genuine practicality, allowing owners to carry not only fuel and passengers but also a significant amount of baggage. The tricycle landing gear further enhances confidence on the ground, ensuring stable handling on take-off, landing and taxiing.

Where G-ZGAB really shines as a touring aircraft is in its generous luggage capacity. In addition to the cabin comfort, the aircraft has been fitted with two spacious wing lockers, each capable of holding up to 20kgs, as well as an additional 15kg luggage compartment located in the cockpit itself. This configuration provides ample space for baggage, equipment and personal items, allowing pilot and passenger to undertake longer journeys with ease and without compromise. It is a thoughtful and practical feature that sets the Bristell apart as one of the most versatile aircraft in its class.

Safety has also been carefully considered. G-ZGAB has been fully prepared for the installation of a ballistic recovery parachute system, having been previously certified for such equipment. The hard work has already been done: only the rocket and parachute themselves need to be fitted. This preparation provides peace of mind for any new owner who wishes to add this extra layer of security, making the aircraft not only enjoyable to fly but also reassuring in terms of overall safety.

Inside the cockpit, the avionics fit is equally impressive. G-ZGAB is equipped with a Dynon EMS-D120, a Dynon EFIS-D100, Dynon Auto Pilot, a Trig TY91 8.33 kHz radio and a Trig TT21 Mode S transponder. Together, this suite of modern avionics ensures that the pilot has all the tools required for safe, efficient and enjoyable flying, whether navigating a short local route or planning a long-range cross-country flight. The systems are intuitive, reliable and well laid-out, further enhancing the sense of quality and capability that defines the Bristell NG5.

In flight, the combination of ergonomic design, advanced aerodynamics and refined engineering becomes abundantly clear. The Bristell handles beautifully, with precise control responses and stability that inspires confidence in pilots of all levels of experience. Its wide cockpit, excellent seating position and thoughtfully designed controls mean that fatigue is minimised, even on extended trips. This is an aircraft built not only to perform but also to ensure that flying remains an experience to savour.

Overall, G-ZGAB represents a superb opportunity for anyone seeking a high-quality, modern light sport aircraft with genuine touring capability. It combines style, strength and comfort with the reliability of the Rotax 912 ULS engine and the practicality of outstanding luggage capacity. With its spacious cabin, advanced avionics and excellent flight characteristics, this Bristell NG5 Speed Wing is perfectly suited to both seasoned aviators and those seeking to expand their horizons with longer journeys.

Wilco Aviation is proud to present this aircraft to the market, and we welcome enquiries from pilots who appreciate the rare blend of performance, comfort and practicality that the Bristell NG5 offers. G-ZGAB is available for viewing at Henstridge Airfield, and we encourage those interested to arrange an appointment to fully appreciate the quality and capability of this exceptional machine.
