The Air Concept Safari Bi FR440/Alpha 18 is a tandem two seat single engined flex wing aircraft with weight shift control. Rogallo wing with fin. Pilot suspended below wing in trike unit, using bar to control pitch and yaw/roll by altering relative positions of trike unit and wing. Wing braced from above by kingpost and cables, from below by cables; floating cross tube construction with double surface on half chord, enclosing cross tube; pre formed ribs. Undercarriage has three wheels in tricycle formation; no suspension on any wheels. Push right go left nosewheel steering independent from yaw control. Optional brake on nosewheel. Aluminium tube trike unit, without pod. Engine mounted below wing driving pusher propeller.
The Safari Bi was designed along the same principles as the single seater trike units from Air Concept, also using rectangular section Duralumin 6061T5 spars measuring 2.4 x 1.6 inch (60 x 40mm). As with virtually all tandem weight shift machines, the control bar is as easy to handle from the front seat as from the rear, but the Safari Bi takes dual control a stage further, as the throttles are accessible to both occupants and the nosewheel steering is twinned to the rear. The Safari Bi/Alpha 18 model uses a 190sq.ft (17.6 sq.m) wing which differentiates it from the two other two seaters offered from this manufacturer. As indicated from the FR440 part of the name, it is equipped with a Fuji Robin EC44 of nominal 440 cc capacity. The choice is left to the purchaser as to which version to fit either the EC44PM of 50 hp with electric start, or the EC44 2PM of 53 hp but hand started. Folded, the trike unit measures 6.7 x 2.8 x 3.4 ft (2.00 x 0. 80 x 1.00 m) and the wing 19.9 x 1.0 x 1.0 ft (6.00 x 0.30 x 0.30 m). Options include, apart from the choice of engine type, a nosewheel brake, a supplementary fuel tank and fairings.
The Safari Bi FR440/Alpha 20 is a combination of the Safari Bi FR440 trike unit with the Alpha 20 wing variations on the same theme but a system which offers an excellent choice to the customer. The EC44 2PM engine is optional.
The Safari Bi FR330/Alpha 20 is basically similar to the Safari Bi FR440/Alpha 18 but with a lower power engine and the Alpha 20 wing with a larger surface area. The structure of this trike unit is the same. The Robin EC34PM can be had with or without electric start and, married to a 214 sq.ft (19.8 sq.m) Alpha 20 wing, gives a lower stall speed than the Safari Bi FR440/Alpha 18 at any given angle of incidence.
Available ready to fly or alternatively as a kit, the kit includes all the parts and accessories necessary to build the trike unit and requires only a drill and a few spanners to assemble it. All cutting, piercing, preparation of cables and other operations which could be hard for an amateur are done by the manufacturer. Detailed plans come with each kit.

The range offered by Air Concept in 1982 was best understood by considering three trike units. First is a tubular structure single seat trike unit, the Safari, second comes the polyester Safari GT single seater and finally the two seater Safari Bi. With each trike unit the firm also supplies an appropriate flex¬wing, such as the Alpha or Alpha Racer for the single seaters and the Alpha 18, Alpha20, or Centaure for the two seaters. Each assem¬bly takes its name from its components, for example Safari/Alpha, the basic model, which we detail below. The suffix FR250 indicates which motor has been used, a Fuji Robin EC25PS in this case.
The Safari FR250/Alpha is a single seat single engined flex wing aircraft with weight shift control. Rogallo wing with keel pocket. Pilot suspended below wing in trike unit, using bar to control pitch and yaw/roll by altering relative positions of trike unit and wing. Wing braced from above by kingpost and cables, from below by cables; floating cross tube construction with double surface on half chord, enclosing cross tube; pre formed ribs. Undercarriage has three wheels in tricycle formation; no suspension on any wheels. Push right go left nosewheel steering independent from yaw control. Optional brake on nosewheel. Aluminium tube trike unit, without pod. Engine mounted below wing driving pusher propeller. The single seater Safari FR250/Alpha is transportable on a roof rack or trailer, the wing when folded measures 19.8 x 1.0 x 1.0ft (6.00 x 0.30 x 0.30 m).
The Safari GT FR250/Alpha and Safari GTL FR250/Alpha are the same as the Safari FR250/Alpha except: no suspension on nosewheel and glass fibre suspension on main wheels. Glass fibre trike unit, partially enclosed.
The Safari GT trike unit is entirely moulded in polyester with the exception of the vertical mast carrying the wing attachment, which is made of 2.20 x 0.08 inch (54 x 2mm) round section Duralumin AU4G1T4. The pod and its windscreen protect the pilot well from the vagaries of the weather. The only drawback to a faired in trike is that it necessitates the use of a trailer for transport; this trike for instance has a volume even without its wing of 6.6 x 2.0 x 3.4 ft (2.00 x 0.50 x 1.00 m). The machine is also offered in the Safari G TL version which benefits from all the options available for the basic GT model, these being tow hook, faired main undercarriage, wheel spats and propeller spinner. The trike unit ‘fuselage’ with windscreen and the three wheel spats were available separately from Eole 2000.

The XT-912 Tourer is a flexwing microlight which uses the Streak or Cruze wing. The Streak-3 is the faster of the two wings with a hands-off trim speed of 56-60 knots compared to the Cruze with a trim speed of 47-52 knots. With the large capacity 70 litre fuel tank there is a potential range of 702 kilometres (436 miles) and optional dual rear disc brakes deliver stopping power for tight landing fields. The Skydat GX2 glass panel digital instrument features full engine and flight management readouts.
The XT can be set up easily by one person. The mast folds independently of the motor. A gas strut is used to help lift the wing onto the trike base and requires little effort.
High quality Fournales oleopneumatic rear shock absorbers are used on the rear, and the front uses double action adjustable shock absorbers. The XT comes standard with carb heating.
The XT-582 Tourer features all the refinements of the XT-912 base with the lower cost 582 Rotax 65hp dual ignition dual carburettor (DCDI) engine. The XTC-582 comes standard with the Cruze wing. The Cruze has a fully faired control frame with a trimmer control.The enclosed battens make for a super clean traing edge.
The 582 Tourer coupled with the Cruze wing has a faired aerodynamic control frame with trimmer control. The trimmer can be set to allow the aircraft to fly at set speeds within an 8 knot range. This feature is standard on all Streak-3 and Cruze wings. The Rotax 582 engine delivers a hands off cruise speed of around 52 knots with the Cruze wing. With XT seating and 70 litre fuel tank the XT-582 Tourer makes for a great cross country microlight. The 6” wheels allow the XT-582 Tourer to handle rough airstrips and dual rear disc brakes are available as an option.
Designed for flying around Australia and Alaska, the XT-912 Tundra with a Rotax 912 80hp is a rugged microlight that can handle extra rough or sandy terrain. Equipped with a faired cockpit, there is an optional tall windscreen for the XT-912 Tundra.
The XT-912 Tundra can be matched up with a variety of wings including the Merlin, Cruze and Streak-3. The wider wheel spats help the trike base track better with the faster Streak-3 wing. Powered by the Rotax and with optional dual rear disc brakes the XT-912 Outback has more than enough power for normal and towing flight.
The standard Skydat GX2 digital instrumentation features full engine and flight management with fuel flow and accumulated fuel usage in an easy to read glass panel.
The XT can be set up easily by one person. The mast folds independently and a gas strut is used to help lift the wing onto the trike base and requires little effort.
The XT-912 Outback standard features include the Rotax 912 Four Stroke 80hp, 70 litre fuel tank, a larger and more comfortable seat, larger instrument binnacle with room for extra instrumentation plus windscreen, optional Duratuff Bolly 3 blade propeller, and Tundra undercarriage standard.
The 912 XTOutback is Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority Approved and tested to 6g positive and 3g negative under strict government control.
With all the refinements of the XT-912 base with the lower cost 582 Rotax 65hp dual ignition dual carburettor (DCDI) engine, the XTC-582 Tundra comes standard with the Cruze wing and big 6”x 8” Tundra Tires on 6” rims. The Cruze has a fully faired control frame with a trimmer control. The enclosed battens make for a super clean traing edge. The XT-582 Tundra coupled with the Cruze wing allows a hands off cruise speed of around 52 knots. State of the art digital instrumentation is standard with the Skydat GX2.
