Protech PT2

A high wing aircraft with all aluminium wings that can be easily and quickly folded rearwards, parallel with the steel tube, ceconite-covered fuselage. It has transparent doors which hinge upwards under the wings and can be opened in flight. The undercarriage is one-piece spring steel and either two or four 20 lt fuel tanks in the wing roots. Standard tires are 600×6, with optional 700×6.

The Protech PT2 Sassy origi¬nates from Houston, Texas circa 1988. Being a high wing side by side two seater of taildragger design, power comes from a 75hp Revmaster, providing a maximum speed of 140 mph. An interesting feature is the aircraft’s fold back wings to facilitate storage. The first was N211PT.
