Fisher Classic
Well established Fisher Flying
Products has reproduced the flying qualities of many classic
airplanes in structurally sound and extremely affordable aircraft.
These ultra light and experimental aircraft have proven aerodynamic
stability and desirable flight characteristics.
From the company’s modern plant in Edgeley, North Dakota, the
components for 15 classic replicas are manufactured by trained and
experienced craftsmen. Research and development for new aircraft is
on-going. Fisher Flying Products’ entire line of aircraft is sold
throughout the United States and in 30 foreign countries.
All models are available in two build-it-yourself forms:
A standard construction kit, which offers the builder the experience
of assembling the entire aircraft from pre-cut, shaped and slotted
wooden pieces, machined hardware, a formed fibreglass cowling and
aluminium fuel tank.
A quick-build kit which contains a number of pre-fabricated
components in addition to the standard pre-cut and formed parts
found in the standard kit.
Both kits come complete with easy-to-follow instructions and the
industry’s finest full scale-full size blueprints. These blueprints
allow the builder to essentially build the aircraft right on top of
the blueprints with standard household tools.
Standard construction kits can be completed by the average builder
in 400–500 hours and quick-build kits reduce the construction time
to 200–300 hours.
Flying The Classic
Sharing the responsive flight characteristics of the 404, the
two-place Classic also lets you share the experience with a
passenger. Dual controls give you the option of front or back
position, and an 85 mph cruise speed gives you just plain fun.
The two-place Classic represents a reborn era in airborne adventure.
This bi-plane aircraft is a throw-back to seat-of-the-pants flying,
complete with minimal instruments and bare-necessity controls. The
sports car of light-planes, the Classic is a flying experience that
will leave you flying.
Featuring short wings, four ailerons and a semi-symmetrical airfoil,
the aircraft answers commands instantaneously. Geodetic wood
construction and additional bracing contribute to exceptional
structural strength, enough to withstand higher Gs than most light
planes.
For experimental models, a 64 horsepower Rotax engine pours out more
than enough power for exhilarating, 800 feet-per-minute climbs and
turns that will push you and your passenger back in your seats. The
plane is as responsive as you are aggressive.
