Birdman Chinook WT 2, Making A Comeback

[farri]

Getting back to a realistic Ultralight!... Tell us what you think!

 

 

The aircraft that started me flying, was a copy of the original Birdman Chinook WT 2! The difference between the earlier version and the Plus 2, is, the earlier version has a section in the wing that acts as an aileoron and is described as a, Gapless Aileron (not wing warping)! The Plus 2, has full span Ailerons.

Frank the way it used to be - history coming back. It should be affordable to buy I hope and cheap fly. Slow and Low and you could land into a paddock or four wheel drive tracks.

So is that $46k AUD plus GST plus shipping for the four stroke?

 

Does look rather swish for fifty something thousand.

And now it appears that there are kits being sold in OZ ...
