Seriously affordable flying

Ace Aviation was created out of the practical experience of one man and his love for flying and design of aero - sports equipment.
John Penry-Evans, John  first flew hang gliders in his teens in the mid 1970`s when hang gliding design was still young. Since those early days he had a wide and varied experience flying in most types of aero sports equipment both free flight and powered.

John started working for Birdman Sports in the late 1970`s and eventually managed the sail loft. Birdman Sports was the precursor to Solar wings, Pegasus and P&M Aviation one of the best known trike manufacturers in the world.

John also worked for Hiway Hang Gliders, FireBird Products at Seeg, Bavaria, The Dragon Light Aircraft Company at Cardiff Wales airport and Apco Aviation in Israel. He then worked at Hornet Microlights at Bradford UK, went back to Apco in Israel, before an opportunity came to work for Raj Hamsa in Mysore, India, the company that made the X-Air ultralights.

After 3 years at Raj Hamsa, John and his wife Noelene (That he met and married in India) moved back to the UK.

Ace Aviation was formed and the business ran out of Pembrey Airfield Industrial Estate. After initial designs were made for trikes and wings they moved back to Ooty, India in 1998.

Ace Aviation manufacture a range of trikes from the Lightweight Super 70 to the popular single seat Magic, and a range of interchangeable wings to fit the trikes which are then sold around the world, want to know more then visit the Aceavaition website https://www.aceaviation.co.uk/
