Bristell / BRM Aero
Bristell B8
Low-wing touring, finished like a sportscar.
The Bristell B8 is the current expression of BRM Aero's low-wing philosophy: a roomy cabin, a bubble canopy, and enough speed to make four-hour legs feel short. With the Rotax 915 iS it climbs and cruises like a much larger aeroplane.
