Why this is the best-selling Bristell
Manufacturer and dealer agree: the Classic is the bestseller. Flight schools pick it for its low purchase and maintenance costs and the simplest landing gear in the entire Bristell line; recreational pilots for the comfort — the same 130 cm wide cabin as the B23 — and the 55 kg of baggage that comes along on holiday. And because engine, propeller and avionics are freely configurable, the Classic grows with you.
