Druine D.5 Turbi Plans

TheBeeKeeper · Post by **TheBeeKeeper** » Tue Apr 01, 2008 12:28 pm

Hi all (first post on the forums)

I currently fly an LAA permit aeroplane, and would love to build a wooden two seater.

Top of the list is the Turbi, altough open to other alternatives/suggestions.

My question - Is the www.falconaravia.com website an approved source of plans for the D.5 Turbi?

Thanks in advance for any help offered.

Regards

AJD

I'd guess it probably is as the Falconar F11 I used to share had a set of their plans with it. That doesn't automatically mean they have the rights over the Turbi, but I'd guess they probably do if nobody else does? I'm waffling

Anyway, a quick call to engineering should put you straight

What about a Pietenpol? Plans readily available and lots of supports through various clubs and internet sites.

Good idea, however, some may say I am in the enviable position of having a partner that also flies!

Having shown the website to the better half, she took a fancy to the idea of the Falconar F12A. Three Seater (with a baby due in days few, she is obviously a little more forward thinking than I am!)

So a change of mind again brings me to the F12A, of which G-INFO says that there at least 3 registered (flying or not!)

Suitable for 125-180hp engine range, may be a little thirtstier than I had planned!

I'm not so sure the F12 is approved as a three seater over here.? Many three and four seaters of various types are about, but they tend to be restricted to two seats and a big baggage payload. You could check the approved list for four seaters maybe? However, as I said before, a call to engineering will set you straight.
