Mirage
ultralight, ultra lite aircraft, amateur built, experimental,
homebuilt aircraft.
|
|
The Mirage ultralight was available in the early
80's as a single place craft. it is a single seat, high wing,
tricycle gear aircraft.
|
|
It was supplied with the Kawasaki 440
engine, and was available in both a pusher configuration using a
drive shaft and in a tractor configuration.
It was a bolt together kit using aluminum tube and
dacron sail cloth. I have seen both wire braced and strut braced
models flying.
It is a two axis
aircraft that uses standard stick and rudder controls with a
left hand throttle, and right hand stick. The ones that I have flown
all had spoilerons, but I have seen one that had ailerons on it.
Construction was bolt together aluminum tube, the single surface
wing was covered in dacron sail cloth.
