Aircraft
Leichtflugzeug Vagabund
The AV Leichtflugzeuge Vagabund (English: Vagabond) is a German ultralight aircraft that was designed by Birk Meier, Hans Grannemann and Robert Kaps and produced by AV Leichtflugzeuge of Haren, Germany. The aircraft is supplied as a kit or plans for amateur construction or as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft.
The Vagabund was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules. It features a strut-braced biplane layout, a two-seats-in-tandem open cockpit, fixed conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration. The aircraft closely resembles the 1930s Bücker Bü 131.
The aircraft is made from wood, with its flying surfaces covered in doped aircraft fabric. Its 7.55 m (24.8 ft) span wing employs ailerons on the lower wing only. The aircraft can use engines from 50 to 85 hp (37 to 63 kW) and the 80 hp (60 kW) Rotax 912UL, the 85 hp (63 kW) Jabiru 2200 and the 75 hp (56 kW) Limbach L2000 Volkswagen air-cooled engine have been fitted along with automotive conversions such as the Nissan 1.2 litre engine.

Legrand-Simon LS-60
Legrand-Simon LS 50
The LS 50 was designed to be suitable for touring, training, or towing. The craft is of mixed wood construction allowing sub-contracting and prefabrication.
On the prototype several components, such as cowling panels, wheel discs, spinner and door sills, had been made of fibreglass. The fuselage is basically rectangular, rigid wood box built up on four longerons. At the sear is a post for the rudder.
At the front a metal frame unites the cabin and wing supporting structure, the two side-by-side seats, the control column and its mechanism, and the undercarriage and shock absorbers. This welded steel structure supports the controls, flap mechanism, radio, doors and instrument panel. Full dual controls are fitted as standard, and the various trim controls are placed on the centrally mounted flap lever in the cabin roof, accessible to both seats.
The wing is built up on a single spar at 25% chord, and forward of this spar is plywood covered, forming a torsion box. The ailerons are cable-operated, the flaps by torsion tube. Ribs are built up of wood and the whole wing, braced by a single strut each side, is fabric covered. The tail unit is constructed of welded steel tube with a fabric cover.
Only the one was built.
