Blackhawk Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 Anyone here owned an Interplane Skyboy. How many were imported to Aus. how many are still flying. Any for sale.
FlyBoy1960 Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 The factory closed years ago, there was one at out airport with a 582 and it struggled. They need a bigger engine. Reports were they flew well but were hard to get in and out of. The one at our field was sold maybe 15 years ago and then got written off some months later in a fire that started with a welder. I think i remember them saying there were 3 or 4 imported one day when Nick Sigley was talking about them
Blackhawk Posted January 6, 2020 Author Posted January 6, 2020 Thanks FB1960, I knew they stopped production in 2013 and only about 100 were manufactured from 1992 with most being used for military flight training and also private flight training. in Europe. If anyone knows of a non flying Skyboy for parts anywhere, let me know.
Skyboy 242001 Posted August 12, 2022 Posted August 12, 2022 Just bought a Skyboy with no POH, or log books. Rotax 912, Flaps, 20 gal tank. Has been converted to experimental, but no idea on airspeeds. they are different for the 912 and with flaps for landing. Any ideas? 1
Flightrite Posted August 12, 2022 Posted August 12, 2022 (edited) There is a Sky Arrow 650 for sale on Planesales, similar concept? Edited August 12, 2022 by Flightrite
