The Hornet STOL is
now in the air, powered by several different engines.
Ole is very pleased with its performance and handling. "Flying has become a lot of fun with the Hornet
airborne in less than 50 metres in a light headwind.
It's just what I dreamed"
The Hornet is an affordable
and exciting STOL plane, a kit project you can quickly
and easily build yourself. The durable construction
and clean design make this versatile STOL aircraft
an everyday favourite.
