Aeropro A220
Everything here is true of every aircraft of the type, not of any one aircraft.
The Aerotrek A220 is the tailwheel version of the Aeropro Eurofox, a Slovak light-sport two-seater derived from the Kitfox: a welded steel-tube fuselage with fabric covering, folding wings and a Rotax 912S, 644 lb empty and 1,235 lb gross, with published figures of 100 knots cruise, a 35-knot stall, 1,000 fpm and 520 nm. The tricycle A240 is its sibling.
The Eurofox took the Kitfox idea and built it to a factory standard, and the result is one of the lighter and better-handling light-sport aircraft, with a useful load near 590 lb that most LSA cannot match; the A220 is the taildragger and asks for tailwheel skill, the A240 does not. It is a fabric-covered aeroplane, so hangarage and the covering's age matter, and the folding wings are a convenience that also deserves a look at their fittings. As an S-LSA it is maintained to Aeropro's manual by an A&P or LSA repairman, through the US importer in Indiana; the factory in Slovakia is in production and the design is widely used as a glider tug in Europe. It is slow for travel and very good at everything else a light aeroplane does.

- Each of the five categories places the model within its peer class, from 0 (the worst of the class) to 10 (the best): a position among comparable models, not a grade. The overall score is the sum of the categories shown that are scored, out of 10 for each (50 when all five are); it is given only when at least 4 of the five are scored, and it can be set against another model's only when both are in the same peer class and scored on the same categories. When accident record and severity cannot be scored because the model has too few records, the other three give a partial score out of 30, labelled as such; it is never set against a full score.
