Most are listed in United States (2), followed by Germany (1) and Italy (1).

What should I check when buying a used Bristell RG?
On a used Bristell RG, check airframe hours, engine time since overhaul, avionics generation and damage history before anything else. PlaneFox recommends a pre-purchase inspection by an EASA Part-145 shop that knows the type, which typically costs EUR 1,500 to EUR 3,500. Under 1,500 airframe hours is low-time and above 3,500 means budgeting for higher maintenance; most piston engines run a 2,000-hour TBO, so past 1,500 to 1,700 hours since overhaul expect the overhaul within one to three years at EUR 25,000 to EUR 45,000. Read the full logbook history for prop strikes, gear-up landings and structural repair, and confirm ADs and SBs are complied with.

About the BRM Aero Bristell RG

Aircraft overview

The BRM Aero Bristell RG is the retractable landing gear version of the Czech built Bristell light sport and ultralight family, produced by BRM Aero in the Czech Republic. The Bristell line entered production in the early 2010s, with the RG developed for buyers wanting the same two seat, low wing touring platform with cleaner cruise performance from a retractable tricycle gear installation. It sits in the light aircraft, microlight and experimental category depending on national certification rules, so registration basis is an important part of any comparison.

Performance & specifications

Typical BRM Aero Bristell RG aircraft use a Rotax 912 series engine, most commonly the 100 hp Rotax 912 ULS or fuel injected 912 iS, driving a ground adjustable or constant speed propeller where permitted. Reported cruise speeds are generally around 120 to 130 knots in efficient touring settings, with range commonly quoted in the region of 600 to 700 nautical miles depending on tanks, engine, propeller, weight and reserve policy. Service ceiling is typically around 14,000 feet. Useful load varies significantly with empty weight, equipment and operating category, but many examples are configured around the 600 kg, 1,323 lb European microlight limit.

Cabin & avionics

The cabin is a two seat, side by side layout with a notably wide cockpit for the class, around 51 inches across at shoulder level. The bubble canopy gives good visibility, while baggage capacity and fuel allowance must be checked carefully against the aircraft’s certified or permitted maximum weight. Avionics are not standardized like a factory certified Part 23 aircraft. Used BRM Aero Bristell RG examples commonly appear with Dynon SkyView, Garmin G3X Touch, Flybox or mixed glass panel installations, often paired with transponder, radio, engine monitoring and optional autopilot. Garmin Perspective and G1000 suites are not typical for this model.

Buying & value

For used buyers, the key distinction is that the BRM Aero Bristell RG is not simply a fixed gear Bristell with cosmetic changes. The retractable gear system, propeller installation, maintenance history and permitted operating category deserve specific review. Check for service bulletins, landing gear rigging records, Rotax maintenance compliance, canopy condition, avionics documentation and weight and balance data after upgrades. Common value drivers include low total time, 912 iS installation, constant speed propeller approval, modern glass avionics, autopilot and documented factory support. On PlaneFox listing data, current asking prices average about EUR 86,000, with a broad range from roughly EUR 60,000 to EUR 233,000, reflecting age, equipment, registration status and condition.
