more Ultralight aeroplanes

In 1927, Focke-Wulf built the S-24 "Kiebitz" also known as the "Peewit". This biplane is a look-a-like with the UL-biplane "Kiebitz". The modern Kiebitz was designed by Michael Platzer and is available as an UL-biplane kit since 1984. Almost 300 Kiebitz biplanes already have been build by homebuilders throughout the world. When You want a new Kiebitz, You have to build it Yourself in accordance with the drawings! It costs a lot of perseverance: building a Kiebitz will take about 1500 hours. If You lose courage: it is possible to purchase some parts, like the under-carriage.

Kapuziner Airlines' Kiebitz D-MQYJ was photographed at Flugplatz Kulmbach in Germany.
