Flitplane

This Ultralight Aircraft Plans package includes construction plans, materials list and construction manual for The Flitplane Ultralight. The Flitplane first came on the flightline at Oshkosh in 1994 by the original designer Ed Fisher of Raceair Designs. Ed is no stranger to custom built aircraft with over 30 years of aviation design. Ed has personally built over 18 Experimental Aircraft in the Amateur Built, Ultralight and Light Sport categories. In 1995 the Flitplane design was bought by Mark Klotz of Wings of Freedom LLC. The Flitplane has been available in plans form since 1994. We have sold hundreds of plans and many have been completed and taken to the sky. The Flitplane was featured in Ultralight Flying Magazine in January 1998.

Tackling the task of building a flying machine is an all inspired task. Many people build airplanes as an “Affordable” way to get into the air. Many build to have something when they are through that few others have. Many just like the challenge and reward of creating something beautiful. There is so much variety in the ultralight field, which is what makes this sport such a rewarding one!

The Flitplane is designed to meet FAR 103 guidelines, however it offers many engine options from 28hp to 50hp. Should you decide to build as Experimental/Amateur Built it will comply with LSA guidelines.

The Flitplane has been created to provide a plan built, low cost Ultralight Airplane or LSA. The main goal was to get people out in their garages or down in their basements building airplanes again, rather than wishing they could afford one currently on the market.

The beauty of the plans built Flitplane is that it can be built as the builder can afford it, at little at a time. Not everyone has $12,000+ on hand to purchase one of the “Ready to Assemble Kits”. Build a sub-assembly in a week from these plans, wrap it up or bag it for protection, label it... and in no time your very own “Kit” will be ready for assembly.

The Flitplane was designed to use conventional construction of a 4130 steel fuselage, aluminum tubing tail and wing, and fabric covering. There is nothing exotic in the Flitplane, it is derived from the many years of us building airplanes and paying attention to how things were done.

This plans & manual package gives you the best shot at having a good looking, excellent flying LEGAL Ultralight for about the price of a good used car.
