I was initially interested but the possible issues caused me to do a light pass.
Some of them have occasional over heating issues, some have grounding electrical issues, some have a shudder at descending through 80 knots speed, stall is kind of abrupt and the nose gear is a known weak link with a mandatory service bulletin (https://remos.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/SB-004-nose-gear-ultralight_01.pdf). Composite aircraft in general don't seem to fare very well in crashes. The new nose gear tube may fix that issue, VG's would probably fix the stall and maybe the shudder.
They have folding wings, autopilot and screens from the factory.

His response to my email:
"Remos GX sn 294 built late 2008 air worthiness cert early 2009
Stored in T hangar at KIWS, West Houston
Rotax 100hp 912ULS.
Light sport with full nav package, Garmin and Dynon --dual navcoms,
xponder etc. would be ifr except light sport not eligible for ifr.
Last annual Feb7/8 2012 when I bought the plane directly from Remos as
a demonstrator
Last maintenance was oil change on May 19 2012 battery replace 2015.
Last run in 2015 when battery was replaced. plane taxied to maint
hangar while the storage hangar was repainted.
Rotax 5 year rubber replacement has not been performed.
Probably some Rotax requirements for maint -- probably mech fuel pump
needs to be replaced.
Hangar had about 1 foot to 18" flooding during hurricane harvey in
2017. water DID NOT reach the engine. Bearings and brakes will need
to be serviced.
Has two sets of logs because Remos couldn't find original logs when
the plane was delivered. They duplicated the logs. Then, they found
the originals and sent them to me.
Only notable item in the original logs: 12/1/2010 25.3 hours
"Repaired wing root ribs left and right side. Ribs had minor cracks
in the composite from improper trailering of aircraft. Work performed
in accordance with Remos MM sec 18, Reassembled A/C"
This is a really nice plane which could be put back in flying
condition mostly by performing deferred maintenance. Or, it could be
salvaged though it seems that would be a waste.
Ideal situation would be to have the plane properly configured for
towing (which the Remos GX is designed for ) and then moved to buyer's
location. Or, work could be performed at West Houston. This is
negotiable."
