Endorses ExxonMobil Oil For New Huskys, Pitts And Eagles
Recognizing the high quality and long term
benefits of Exxon Oil, Aviat Aircraft is now recommending the
product in its Pilot Operating Handbooks for the Husky, Pup, Pitts
and Eagle. They will be providing new owners of aircraft from Aviat
with a free case of Exxon mineral oil to cover the engine break-in
period.
"We looked at the oil products on the market and decided that
Exxon has a standard and a set of beneficial ingredients that
could, with regular maintenance, extend engine life and provide a
level of reliability that will clearly benefit our customers," said
Aviat President Stu Horn.
"It's an issue of added value and confidence, both
of which will keep our pilots happy and our aircraft in the sky
more often. Most manufacturers don't take a stand on engine oil,
but we did the research and feel it's important."
Aviat produces three ready-to-fly aircraft and one complete
aircraft kit for the homebuilder market. The Husky is a popular
two-place, high wing taildragger that appeals to bush and
recreational pilots. The new Pup, which is considerably less
expensive than the Husky, flies just as fast on a smaller engine
and does not have flaps. The Pitts Special is a world class
aerobatic aircraft that leads all other designs in the number of
times it has been in the winners' circle at aerobatic competitions.
The Eagle, designed by Frank Christensen, is a kit aircraft that
has also been very successful in competition and airshow
aerobatics.
