  • Service

    Stay ready for takeoff.

    You and your Archaeopteryx are in good shape with us after the sale too. The aircraft needs very little maintenance – keep it clean and check the tyre pressure regularly – there's not much more to do. The comprehensive Pilots' Handbook leads you through all the details. We personally answer any and all queries. That includes practical instruction in ground and flight handling and the latest launch methods as well as exchanging flight experiences.

    Of course we will also help with the maintenance of your Archaeopteryx. We do periodic checks, make repairs, help with remote diagnosis, send spare parts, find solutions for your special requests, organise the rescue system servicing or incorporate upgrades.

    Upgrades can be incorporated right back to the first serial number.

    We are pleased to help with queries about export / import, dispatch and certification.
