2010 Legend P103UL

The Six Chuter 103 series is for the pilot who wants to fly with as little regulation as possible under FAA part 103. The 103 series is designed as a down sized Legend with the same benefits of the Legend airframe, but within the weight limitations. Equipped with a 360-400 sq.ft canopy the climb and cruise performance will match that of a two seat powered parachute with a 500 sq.ft canopy. The P103UL meets the FAR weight limits even with fiberglass seat, making it one of the few truly legal single seaters on the market with the Rotax 503 engine.

The P103 comes with several equipment packages and can be built and certified as SLSA for Sport Pilot training and rental.
The Six Chuter P103UL part 103 model is built light enough to be able to maintain a strong spring shock suspension system. The Legend 103 UL is close to the original SR2 Model in terms of size, weight and even performance. It utilises the same standard features as on other models including intuitive throttle and ground steering.

The standard wing on the P103UL is the Performance Designs Barnstormer 360.
Improvements with the 2010 models including a higher quality fuel tank, and changes that improve unloaded balance on the ground.

SIPA SIPA-1000 Coccinelle

TerryLeave a comment

In 1955 Yves Gardan designed the SIPA 1000 Coccinelle side by side two seat light aeroplane with a 90 hp engine. It was designed and built in two months, first flying on 11 June 1955.

Designed for simplicity, the three undercarriage wheels are interchangeable and were from motor scooters. A number of automotive prats were used including oil pressure and temperature indicators, and the hydraulic brakes are from a Renault 4 cv car.

A 65 hp or 90 hp Continental engine could be fitted.

Production deliveries were scheduled for April 1956.
