Rob Holland is no stranger to flying the most challenging and most exciting aircraft in the world of aerobatics. For the past two seasons, Rob has flown the Ultimate 20-300S biplane in both competition and at airshows nationwide. He was the only airshow pilot flying the high- performance aerobatic wonder that is the Ultimate, and millions of airshow fans got the opportunity to see what a biplane could do in the hands of an aerial magician.
In 2007, Rob is revolutionizing yet again with a whole new act and a whole new aircraft... the MX2 from MXR Technologies of Florida.
The MX2 is a 285+ horsepower masterpiece powered by the Lycoming AEIO-540 Aerobatic Engine that gives airshow fans a whole new perspective at what an aircraft can do. The MX2 can pull a G-load of plus and minus 16 G’s -- that means tighter turns and loops and a whole variety of maneuvers that will redefine the word “aerobatic”. The MX2 can roll at an astronomical 400+ degrees per second, where viewers will see only a blur.
The MX2 is constructed entirely of pre-impregnated epoxy carbon fiber composite material that is of the highest grade. With the maneuvers that Rob will take the aircraft through, quality and safety is of primary importance.
