For Sale: 2010 Pipistrel Virus SW 100 - Exceptional Performance at a Fraction of New Cost!
Reluctantly parting ways with this pristine, low-time Pipistrel Virus SW 100 two-seat light aircraft.
HS-GLA was delivered factory new to Thailand in 2010 and has been well maintained by just two owners, this beauty combines the legendary high performance and economy of ownership that Pipistrel is renowned for. With its efficient Rotax 912 100hp engine and aerodynamic design, expect impressive cruise speeds up to 140 knots while sipping fuel at under 5 gallons per hour -- perfect for cross-country adventures or training flights without breaking the bank on operating costs.
Why buy new/import when this proven performer is already registered in Thailand and ready to fly? A 2025 factory-fresh Virus SW 100 would set you back over $230,000 USD, not including hefty shipping and import duties and extended lead times that could stretch to months or a year. Plus, the core airframe design remains unchanged from this 2010 model to the latest versions— the only notable update is electric flaps, which aren't essential for most pilots.
