From our last visit, Flyitalia doubled production areas to 1000 sq. meters, and moved MD3 Rider production restart slowly to reality. With using of the major part of original GRYF Aircraft sro suppliers, by words of Antonio Bencini - new chief of MD3 Rider production they are " practically starting from zero". Flyitalia informs to delivery three aircraft per month from end of September.

From the reason of hard disillusion from former USA dealer, Flyitalia tries to find some NEW USA DEALER for our SLSA approved allmetal high-wing.

MD3 Rider is produced in Italy with some detail changes :

- with wheels, brakes and fork of front wheel from another producer ( Riders from Gryf aircraft s.r.o. production used Aerospool CZ parts â?? see www.aerospool.cz web pages.)

- with new electric system wiring ( universal cables with dismountable connectors)

- and instrument desks with "plugs" in place of all potential instruments . So now, if customer does not order some specific instrument, can buy that and install later - into prepared installation holes.

Flyitalia actually starts welded cage production with using of CNC tubes cutting too, to reduce aircraft assembly time and save weight.

Another changes of instrumentation and parts are done to use more suppliers from their region - and append some ideas of new production leader of course.

But MD3 Rider's airframe and aerodynamic shape and areas are still the same, to keep Czech LAA type certification still valid .
