The Angel Aircraft Corp., a little company based in Orange City, Iowa, last week received a Production Certificate from the FAA for its twin-engine, pusher-prop, STOL, eight-seat Model 44. “We have six aircraft in the production line now, and we have a demonstrator model flying,” sales rep Jerry Waddell told AVweb on Saturday. The special introductory price, with a basic IFR package, he said, is set at $690,000. “The main use of this aircraft is to carry heavy loads, operating from short, unimproved strips,” he added. The Angel twin will be on display in Orlando at the NBAA conference coming up October 7-9, Waddell said, and he hopes to find some buyers there for those airplanes now in production. “We’re moving forward one step at a time,” Waddell said. “We intend to be here for the long haul.” He said the company expects to produce about 35 to 50 units per year.
