Aircraft Bluebook-Price Digest At-a-Glance has reviewed

Demand According to FAA records, over 100 Remos aircraft are registered in the United States. At the time of the writing of this article, more than a dozen were for sale in the major aircraft trade publications, around 10 percent of the total fleet. Research for this study was obtained in part from Aircraft Bluebook, Aircraft Bluebook’s Historical Value Reference, Controller, Trade-A-Plane, AeroTrader and the FAA registry web site. This number does not take into account aircraft for sale that are not listed in these publications. The German built Remos is a composite aircraft with well over 200 aircraft flying worldwide and was one of the first SLSAs. According to industry analyst Dan Johnson, Remos has added 73 units since January 1, 2008 placing them in the top 5 among light sport manufacturers according to market share. Pricing Current offerings for Remos aircraft range in asking prices from $79,995 to $145,000. As expected, time, equipment and condition will impact not only the asking price, but selling price as well. Like many LSAs, the Remos aircraft have multiple avionics options available which are a large portion of resale value. The summer 2009 Aircraft Bluebook lists a 2006 Remos G3 with an average retail price of $104,000. Residual Values A 2006 Remos G3, whose market values have been tracked since the second quarter of 2008 was reported new with a standard list price of $99,500. Aircraft Bluebook-Price Digest’s Historical Value Reference has demonstrated the Remos G3’s market value performance by quarter in the graph for this 2006 model.
