You know I got a love for slightly weird aircraft, the Airbus is a aberration for me, lol. And I am glad to be able to present a project that is close to beta and close to my heart! Release is scheduled for late summer and most of the people working on it are very well known from other awarded projects we done.
The
American Aerolites Falcon ultralight (the UL, single seater version). It's an ultralight that is no longer in product but that still captures the eye of many pilots and second hand models go for a very solid price. No wonder as it a remarkable little aircraft. In many ways it resembles a light sports car. It is extremely agile, very very responsive bit due to the canard configuration easy to fly. In fact it seems to ask to be flown fast. Not that it is fast, but it sure feels fast with the wind on your face!
