PlaneFox tracks 1 Dyn'Aero MCR-4S aircraft for sale and re-reads every one of them from the broker and dealer sites it watches, so the figures below move when the market moves. Every number on this page is measured from those live listings, not taken from a published price guide.
A Dyn'Aero MCR-4S flies about 1,100 nm, roughly 2,037 km, which is about 9 h 10 min in still air at typical cruise.
A Dyn'Aero MCR-4S costs about EUR 1,479 a month to run, or about EUR 150 for every flight hour when it is flown 150 hours a year.
The Dyn'Aero MCR-4S is a French four-seat, low-wing kit aircraft developed by Dyn'Aero as the family member of the MCR line, distinct from the two-seat MCR-01 and related sport variants. The MCR-4S first flew in 2000 and was supplied mainly as a kit for amateur construction, with examples also completed by professional builders depending on local rules. It matters in the used market because it combines composite construction, compact dimensions and Rotax power with true 2 plus 2 seating, giving buyers a different proposition from heavier certified tourers.
Typical MCR-4S performance depends strongly on engine, propeller, weight and build standard. Many aircraft use the Rotax 912 ULS of 100 hp, while some are fitted with the turbocharged Rotax 914 UL of 115 hp. Reported cruise speeds are commonly in the 135 to 150 knot range, with economical fuel burn compared with conventional four-seat piston aircraft. Typical range is often quoted around 600 to 800 nautical miles when equipped and operated for touring. Maximum takeoff weight is commonly around 1,650 lb, with useful load varying by individual aircraft, equipment and local approval. Service ceiling is generally published in the low to mid teens in feet.
The cabin is arranged with two front seats and two rear seats. In practice, the rear positions are best assessed with the actual aircraft, because payload, legroom and baggage needs can make the MCR-4S more of a light family or 2 plus 2 tourer than a full four-adult cruiser. Avionics are not standardized. Used examples may have basic analog flight instruments, mixed VFR panels, or modern experimental glass such as Dynon SkyView, Garmin G3X, MGL, Trig or Becker equipment. Certified integrated suites such as Garmin Perspective or G1000 are not typical factory installations for this model.
Buyers should treat each Dyn'Aero MCR-4S as an individual aircraft, because build quality, documentation and equipment vary. Key checks include composite condition, control system rigging, landing gear, fuel system, weight and balance data, logbook continuity, compliance with applicable service information, and Rotax engine history including rubber replacement intervals and gearbox maintenance. Desirable upgrades can include a constant-speed propeller, turbocharged Rotax 914 installation, long-range fuel, modern glass avionics, autopilot and ballistic parachute fitment where properly engineered. On the used market, the Dyn'Aero MCR-4S usually sits as a light, efficient experimental touring aircraft rather than a direct replacement for a certified four-seat trainer or cruiser.
