Microlights and homebuilds at Schaffen

Postby Omag 2.0 » Mon Aug 13, 2007 12:09 pm

Some light and original aircraft as seen on saturday:

How I wish I was a seafire! Looks wicked, yet I wasn't able to ID this one.

Image

Aeropro Eurofox... mouthful for such a light model!

Image

French homebuild. I thought this was some Ercoupe model, but it's a NC 854 CM

Image

A fast bugger! This one caught me by surprise due to it's speed and climbrate! I couldn't find the registration on the net, so no ID.

Image

And I wish I was a warbird part II ... a bit overdone, this Zenair CH601

Image

Enjoy!

If the first one tries to imitate a Sea Fury, it does a horrible job.
Looks even uglier than its big brother.  ;D

It's a modified VW car engine. Very popular for homebuilts until modern engines like the the Rotax came along.

Great stuff!!  Those RVs sure do pop up almost everywhere; a classic and (deservedly) popular design. I am very lucky to have gotten some stick time in an RV-4; it's something else!!  :)
