Welcome in the natural continuation of the French training aircraft lineage.

After our well received Fouga Magister, we decided to create the replacement, introduced in the eighties for initial pilot training in the French Air Force.

Always committed to develop a faithfully reproduction, we had the chance this time to fly on a real TB-30 to feel the aircraft and to collect any data we needed during project development.

Our TB-30 Epsilon is based on a civilian converted model, where every single screw you can find in the cockpit has been reproduced.

You will find a friendly and very accurate environment, surrounded by modern avionics that will allow you to navigate effortlessly.

The TB-30 is a versatile plane, recognized for its stability during a calm flight, but still very enjoyable and responsive as soon as you begin aerobatic manoeuvres.

The TB-30 Epsilon is a two-seat, low-wing, single-engine military basic training aircraft by French aviation producer SOCATA. The Epsilon took its first flight in October of 1980 and entered service in September of 1984. SOCATA produced 174 Epsilons during its manufacturing run from 1983 and 1989, and the aircraft remains in service with the militaries of a number of countries, including Portugal and Senegal, as well as in the hands of private and commercial owners.

The TB-30 features a tandem cockpit, a retractable nosewheel undercarriage, and a standard tail section. Its main wing has a span of 26 feet, and it has an overall length of 24 feet, 11 inches. The all-metal TB-30 is powered by a 6-cylinder Lycoming AEIO-540-L1B5D engine that delivers up to 300 horsepower to a 2-blade constant-speed propeller. The Epsilon has a range of 800 miles, climbs at 1,850 feet per minute, and has a service ceiling of 23,000 feet above sea level. It stalls at 71 mph, cruises at 220, and maxes out at 235 mile per hour.

The TB-30 Epsilon by SOCATA is a highly refined trainer that is balanced to be both forgiving for the first-timer but is also nimble and speedy enough to satisfy aviators with more aggressive ambitions. Not only is the Epsilon a performer, it is a great touring machine, with a canopy that affords broad vistas of the world around it. Pilots of all skill levels who have flown the TB-30 have at least a few reasons why they love it.
