The makers of the CH7 Kompress have unveiled a new machine - the CH77 Ranabot. The CH77 is based on the Kompress, with slightly larger dimensions and the notable difference of a side-by-side cabin. It's powered by a modified Rotax 914 delivering 128HP. Like the Kompress, it will be supplied in kit form, and will be eligible for the Italian (and soon the French) microlight category. The prototype (pictured) weighs a bit less than 290kg, and the production models should be about 10kg lighter. First deliveries are expected in the new year, and will cost 95.000 € excluding engine and taxes.
