Some years ago I started the process of PFA approval for this home built aircraft. Francis Donaldson looked at the designers calculations and was very enthusiastic about the depth of detail carried out. He reported on his first flight in a Criquet in PF for Jan/Feb 1998. The next stage was actual flying tests, and the aeroplane arrived at EGFE with its enthusiastic builder. However a local pilot who was unfamiliar with Mignet concept two axis aircraft took a trial flight and overturned on landing. He seems to have mistaken the brake pedals for a rudder bar. Two axis aircraft only have a control yoke or stick, and no rudder bar.
The comprehensive plans and build instructions remained unused after I had completed the translation.
Rather than throw out these rather splendid plans, they are available.
Please let me know if anyone is interested, I might swop them for a servicable mode C transponder or whatever?
