Nieuport 11
Designed and prototyped in the spring of 1984, the 7/8 scale Nie. 11 went
through a hurried 10 hours of serious test flying before being loaded on a
trailer for the trip to Oshkosh. Flight testing included the usual stuff,
while I was watching, (and some “unauthorized” activities when I was not.)
Loops, spins, Split S and a 7000ft power dive were performed on C-IRCA
(do not try this at home folks! Aerobatics NOT recommended! )
The 11 can be built with lightweight TUFF wheels and a Rotax 447 in the US
Ultralight category. As a registered homebuilt, (or UL in Canada) it can
be built in a range of variants including the Ni 17/24/27 and Siemens Shuckert
D1. * Recommended powerplants include the Rotax 503, 447, or VW.
Construction: The structure is 6061 tube with pull riveted gussets and bolts.
Wings and fuselage are fabric covered. Plans are designed for the first time
builder with basic tools.
