Remos AG is located in Pasewalk, Germany. Early 1990s it started to develop and produce experimental ultralight aircraft, the Remos G3 Mirage and the Remos GX. They are high wing, two seat, single engine light aircraft, supplied as a kit for amateur construction or complete and ready-to-fly.
Aircraft are marketed in the United States as Light Sport Aircraft, and in most of Europe as ultralight.
The G3 Mirage first flew on 20 September 1997 and the GX has been the current production model since 2006. The GX wing has a different airfoil than the G3, improving roll rate and giving better penetration of turbulence. The GX is fitted with either a Junkers or BRS ballistic parachute recovery system.
The G3 Mirage/GX has been produced to meet both European ultralight and US LSA regulations. By early 2009 over 300 of all variants had been sold worldwide. About half were in Europe: in mid-2010 there were 156 G3 and GX aircraft on European civil registers west of Russia. The rest went to countries including New Zealand, Thailand and the United States. Mirages were also sold to police forces in Argentina and to a military agency in Romania.
An analysis of the operating economics by Aviation Consumer magazine of the G3 versus the Cessna 152 in flight school use during 2013 showed that the G3 cost 50% more to operate than the thirty-year-old Cessna did.
