Gianni Golinelli of Golavio s.r.l is Rotec's Italian Agent and Representative.

Gianni is a passionate aviator who combines his duties as an ultralight flight instructor (1386 hours recorded flight time) with constructing superbly finished aircraft.

In 1987 Gianni was the first in Italy to import and assemble aircraft kits from the USA with one of the first craft being one from Daenny Aircraft in Idaho (Now Skystar) quickly following with Murphy Spirits and Rebels then through to Piper Pups, Top Concept (French origin) and a Rotax 532 powered Hurricane. Construction records show 14 Renegades, 22 Kifoxes, 8 Piper Pups and 12 Hurricanes along with assorted others successfully completed.

Its not surprising that with such success that in 1993 Gianni was bought out and one of the terms of agreement was a 10 year exclusion from the constructor industry - with this exclusion time now elapsed, Gianni is restarting and has sought out the use of the Rotec R2800 as a powerplant for his future aircraft.

The first project on his books is to fit out his own Renegade which he'll be using as a display and demonstration unit for private sales from his hanger and strip near Bologna in the Emilia Modena Region (North of Italy and a stones throw from "Ferrari Formula 1" ), along with fly in's in Europe.

Rotec is proud to be associated with a man of such experience and ability; so If you're Italian, or are in Europe, seek him out as you won't be disappointed with what he has to offer. Indeed, how could you go past all his experience in aviation, Kits, production and avionic instrumentation, couple all this with full Rotec factory support and all your needs will be accommodated no matter how simple or complex.

Start Up.. .. .. .. .. .. .. Ready to Fly!

Augusto writes on 17th Nov 2004: Our Renegade is ready to fly now but metro conditions were not ideal for the first flight.

It is hoped we'll take to the skies within the next 2 weeks.

There was also a delay due to problems with the brakes, the Matco set was discarded and replaced with a Casper system...

The engine performs flawlessly, I trust it more than a Rolex watch....

Your new 9 cyl engine seems very promising... . In any case I dream of it coupled to a BU133 Jungmaister with your new 9 cyl engine as powerplant.

Best regards - Augusto Poggiali of Golavio Engineering (Italy)

Cowling - finishing touches... ...... ... ...

As you can see the Renegade is now complete - we've installed the cowl and have done all the prep work for the first flight.

All we need now is some good weather and we're hoping that in in the next few weeks we'll be reporting on the first flight along with some video.

The interest in our plane has been phenomenal and all are anxiously awaiting this first flight.

Best of wishes to you and all your customers for the coming festive season from the Team Golavio.

May all have a happy Christmas, proseperous New Year and most importantly good health.

Gianni.
