ArmourKraft Stolite
![]() Stollite Mk1 single seat with R503
The ArmourKraft Stolite was a project designed by Arthur Armour to be built by his apprentice while he was building something else. It took three years to build, working two nights a week after work. The wings are from the ArmourKraft Super Cricket.
Design to fit Australian 95:10 class, MTOW 300kg (661lb), single seat, it was powered by a Rotax 503, registered 10-3218, and first flew in 1999 at The Oaks, NSW, Australia.
After a minor incident, aircraft was rebuilt in the next 'class' allowing more weight and two seats, and was fitted with a Rotax 582, and registered 19-3218.

Eventually the 582 failed, so an old Rotax 912 was fitted.

The 912 was required for another project and removed, to be replaced with a modified BMW R100 bike engine.
