At Oshkosh, back in 2021, I saw this plane and I was really interested in the design as it was similar to my Extra. It had many unique features, such as a full baggage compartment and a cruising speed of 200 kts. Thereafter, I had subscribed to The GameBird Composite Instagram ( gamecomposites?...) and was impressed with their videos of the flight performance and capabilities. For these reasons, I have decided to visit Gamebird Composite for a tour and demo flight.
Their slogan is "Fly Without Compromise", which came about by founding members, Stuart Walton and Philipp Steinbach. "The idea of the team of the Game Composites was to invent a combination of aerobatic and general aviation airplane." They started their story in 2013 and in 6 focused years, a small team of dedicated people was able to translate an idea into a beautiful and capable aircraft that "enables you to fly without compromise". gamecomposites.com
Special thanks to Philipp Steinbach for the assistance and hospitality!
