Manufacturer: Aerola |
|
Details:
The Alatus is a single seat self-launching glider available ready built.
Formerly known as the AL12 (and AL12M) in collaboration with Aeros, the Alatus is an evolution from Aerola's high-performance rigid hang-glider wing, the Phantom. Unlike most of its contemporaries, the Phantom uses ailerons for roll control facilitating development into a conventional 3-axis control system. Extensive use of carbon-fibre and other composites have enabled the entire aircraft to weigh less than 90kg! All Alatus' are fitted for aerotow or winch launch, and are riggable by a single person.
When derigged, the entire aircraft can be carried by most family cars, allowing storage at home and eliminating the need for expensive trailers. |

Details:
The Aeroprakt-22 vel A-22 Vision is known as the Foxbat in the UK and Australia and as A-22 Valor in the USA and is a high-wing microlight with a tractor configuration. It is all-aluminium construction apart from the fabric covering on the wings. Its unusually extensive glazing gives an unparalleled view for this type. A good short field machine, it still manages a respectable cruise with a Rotax 912 engine. |

The first generation savannah has fixed leading edge slats which are a very noticable feature but the next generation (Savannah VG) has replaced these with vortex generators which offer other improvements in performance. It sports and 85 mph economical cruise and can reach 100 mph on full throttle. The kit is completely produced with CNC machines meaning no drilling, deburring, cuts or bends are necessary during construction. All the parts are supplied ready for mounting. The Savannah looks very similar to the Zenair CH-601 |

Manufacturer: Mike Whittaker |
|
Details:
The MW7 should not really be featured on this site since it is not actually a microlight but a group A aircraft. It was originally designed to be fully aerobatic and although a single seater, it has proved to be very popular due to it being probably the cheapest way of keeping your A-licence current!
Construction is basically the same as the MW range of microlights except the fuselage struts are made from aluminium alloy angle thus eliminating machined end fittings.
The aircraft was designed to ARB paper 98 Aerobatic category. Limit loads are +6.5 -3.0g. However due to the requirement for complex flight tests and the possibility of damage litigation in the event of a crash the aircraft is only approved for normal category operation. Rotax 503 and 582 engines have been approved for use. The non structural nacelle shape can, within reason, be styled individually to personalise the aircraft and some fully enclosed variants have been produced.

It was originally planned to be used for the World Microlight Championships having good visibility, a high aspect ratio wing for efficiency, a Rotax 508 four stroke engine for fuel economy, flaps, side stick, brakes and folding wings making for good all round performance. Whilst it looks very attractive with its sleek features, Mike Whittaker decided not to develop it further. |

Details:
The Renegade is a 2-seat biplane can be purchased as plans only or in a quick build kit form. Forward of the Spirit firewall there can be a Rotax 582 or if you prefer four stroke a Rotax 912. The Spirit can have either a smooth sided engine cowl or for the nostalgic look, a rounded bump cowling can be fitted to give it the look that made antique aircraft famous!
The structure of the Renegade is a blend of old and new technology, it is a conventional strut and wire braced biplane of fabric covered all metal construction. Under the Poly-Fiber fabric you will find an aluminum truss fuselage that utilizes 6061-T6 aluminum tubing mated with a unique, custom designed extrusion. All fuselage members are blind-riveted with AVEX and stainless steel rivets. The larger diameter tubes provide a fuselage with very high strength and rigidity while maintaining light weight. A fuselage of equivalent strength and rigidity, but welded from 4130 steel would weigh more than twice as much. Because the structure is a blind riveted one, rather than welded, it is very easy for even an inexperienced person to check for structural integrity and make any necessary repairs. The use of square tubing wherever possible provides maximum contact between riveted parts as well as increasing bending strength. |

Details:
MW aircraft are conventional three axis machines fitted with ailerons, rudder and an elevator which is also fitted with an anti-balance/trim tab. They all have rigid structures with fabric covered flying surfaces. All MW aircraft are constructed from readily available mainly commercial materials such as HE30TF or 6061T6 aluminium alloy, or S514 or 4130 steel. The aircraft are assembled using pop rivets and bolts. There is a small amount of Turning and milling and also some welding in the undercarriage and control system. The wings are of mono-spar design, that is a single large diameter tube carries both bending and torsional loads. All aircraft are certified through the PFA as home built aircraft.Build time is approximately 1300 hours and average cost £2500 plus engine. Over 90 MW aircraft have now flown and allowing for engine failures, have proved to be reliable and robust in operation. The MW series of aircraft are the only microlight's in the UK which may be scratch built from plans.
The MW4 was the first of many designs by Mike Whittaker to use a strong but quite minimal structure for the aircraft. Based on HT30F aluminium tubes, the MW4 is distinguished by its articulated tailplane. The assembly is all one piece and moves as a whole rather than the rudder moving separately from the elevators.
This photograph shows Mike flying the only example of the type built. Despite its unique status, it is flown at the MW Club fly-in at Chedda each year. |

The MW5 (also know as the '5') is a single seat microlight which can be built from plans. It was also produced commercially for a while. Although this is the oldest design for which plans are available, Mike Whittaker is currently producing a slightly 'cleaned up' version which should give it a new lease of life.
Recently a version was modified to use floats, and become the first amphibious MW.
All MW aircraft can be de-rigged in some twenty minutes. The 5 has folding wings and can be assembled by one person. |

The Thruster made its first flight in November 1982 and had no pod or fairings going from concept to flying in just six weeks.
The Thruster TST (Two-seat-trainer) was originally introduced in the mid 1980s and was one of the first viable conventional control two seat three axis microlights on the British market. The T300 was a later development and was also built under license in the UK. |

In 1986 a subsidiary factory was established in the UK which initially assembled and sold Australian built Thrusters but later began building them locally. In Australia the 2 seat Thruster was known as the Gemini but since the name Gemini was already being used by British flexwing manufacturer Mainair Sports the aircraft became known as the Thruster TST (Two Seat Trainer). |

The Thruster made its first flight in November 1982 and had no pod or fairings going from concept to flying in just six weeks.
The Thruster TST (Two-seat-trainer) was originally introduced in the mid 1980s and was one of the first viable conventional control two seat three axis microlights on the British market. The T300 was a later development and was built in the UK. In 1990 Thruster (Australia) went into receivership and what was left of Thruster Aircraft was sold to the family that still presently own it – the Robinsons. The UK factory and its manufacturing rights were sold to a UK buyer and the factories became independent of each other.
Under new ownership the UK factory continued building the T300 and later completely revised the design of the T300 in line with customer suggestions, and the T600 was the result.
The T600 had a considerable airframe redesign from the T300 and one of the main differences was the Chromoly (chromium-molybdenum steel) cockpit chassis which allowed a nosewheel version to be produced. The T600 is therefore available in taildragger (T600T) or the nosewheel (T600N) configuration with an open or enclosed cockpit.
A range of two or four stroke engines are available. |

Manufacturer: Ultraflight |
|
Details:
The Ultraflight Lazair is a Canadian built twin-engine ultralight aircraft designed by Dale Kramer.
The series 2 had 2 x 9.5 horsepower Rotax 185 engines. These single cylinder engines were used extensively in forest fire fighting water pumps and had proved reliable in that application.
The propellers were the same plastic units used on the Series I with its 5.5 hp engines. To absorb the greater horsepower two propellers were stacked to form a “bi-plane propeller”. This was done because Ultraflight had ample supplies of the existing propellers and using them saved money over developing a new propeller.
During the production of the Series II the tail skids were replaced with tail wheels and later on, swiveling wheels. Skis were also available, although open cockpit flying in the winter could be a challenge. Rudder pedals were introduced which allowed side slipping of the aircraft as well as crosswind landings. The rudders could be coupled to the ailerons or de-coupled and controlled by the pedals in flight through a mixer gear. |

Manufacturer: Ultraflight |
|
Details:
The Ultraflight Lazair is a Canadian built twin-engine ultralight aircraft designed by Dale Kramer.
Kramer named the aircraft "Lazair" as a contraction of "Lazy-Air", a comment on the slow cruise speed of the aircraft, which was about 40 mph.
The first Lazairs were originally marketed just under the model name "Lazair", but were later termed "Series I" after improved models had appeared.
The initial model Lazair was a single seater with a 36.3 foot wingspan and was powered by two 5.5 hp 100cc Pioneer chainsaw engines, directly driving plastic propellers in tractor configuration. The main landing gear used 16 inch wheels with a track of just 26 inches, which combined with the long wing span, meant that taxiing in more than 7 mph of wind required a wing walker. Tail skids were fitted to the inverted V-tail. |

Details:
The CH601UL is a 2 seat low-wing microlight powered by a Rotax 912 engine. It was designed by Chris Heintz of Switzerland who later moved to France and then the USA. Zenith is an anagra of Heintz.
In the early 90s, Heintz entered into a license agreement with Czech Aircraft Works of Stare Mesto, Czech Republic, to produce and market his STOL CH 701 and ZODIAC CH 601 designs for the European market. The Czech-produced Zodiacs were modified and lightened to meet European rules for "microlight" aircraft. CZAW produced some 750 such machines under this agreement. In 2006 the agreement was terminated and from 2007 the popular all-metal STOL CH 701 and ZODIAC CH 601 Heintz designs will no longer be produced and sold by Czech Aircraft Works. Instead they will continue to be made available across Europe by the Zenair dealer network, as kits coming from Zenith Aircraft Company (Missouri, USA) and as assembled
aircraft from Zenair Ltd. |
