A new Warbird from Loehle |
When you cover the ultralight industry for over 20 years, and are as
deeply involved in it as I am you meet a great many people. It is amazing how you can
develop a friendship with someone when you only see them once or twice a year.
It is also
gratifying to watch those you wish to succeed - do just that.
I met Mike Loehle and his wife Sandy was at Sun N Fun in 1984. They arrived late for the
show because their "old white whale" of a bus had broken down on the way to the
show and they had to be towed in. At that time Mike was still in the process of finalizing
his P 51 Mustang.
The first time I saw it it was just a bare frame partially covered. At
Oshkosh that same year it was up and flying. Since that time Mike has gone on to introduce
his single place Sport Parasol, the P -40 Flying Tiger and several other WW 1 designs.
This year I met Mike down in the commercial end of Oshkosh, and while I don't usually
cover manufacturers down at that end, I do make exceptions for exceptional
manufacturers. This year Mike had a new design up to about the same stage as the first
Mustang I saw. His latest is the Loehle Spitfire.
When Mike created the P 51 and then the P 40 he used basically the same fuselage with the
changes and additions in stringers to give it the required look. That wasn't possible with
the Spitfire so Mike has decided to enter the market in a different way with this craft.
The difference is in the way the kit will be delivered to the customer, according to Mike
"this will be the most complete kit that Loehle has ever offered."
