The S12 undercarriage extends wider than the previous model, but uses the same trailing link elastomer suspension for uneven runways. Once electrically retracted, the undercarriage is hidden behind doors, providing a beautifully faired fuselage. Oversized tyres enhance operation from grass runways and a hydraulic braking system provides safe deceleration.

ROTAX RELIABILITY
The popular and highly successful ROTAX 914-F provides turbo power for high density altitude operations. It is mid-engine mounted, driving the propeller through a carbon fibre drive shaft.

UNIQUE PROPELLER
Stemme’s foldable variable pitch propeller hides inside a sliding nose cone. To restart and deploy the propeller takes just 5 seconds.
MODERN PANEL FOR POWERED AND SOARING FLIGHT
Three S12 packages are available: SOARING orientated more towards soaring flight, S12 adds additional comfort for long distant powered flight, where the larger panel houses high level gliding and power flying avionics. S12-G is an all glass panel with twin Garmin G3X and Auto Pilot. Electric elevator trim and adjustable tail ballast is provided in all 3 packages. Two batteries are provided to ensure that there is always adequate power for an engine start after a long soaring day.
