A T.U.F. VIEW
When powered by the 503 Rotax engine the T-10 climbs at 500 feet per
minute at gross. Cruise is 60 m.p.h. stall comes in at around 35. The
craft traces its design heritage to the Mitchell Wing single seat in the
A-10 and B-10 models.
It is a craft that really needs a paved runway and a
1500 foot strip clear at both ends to get in and out of comfortably. It is
also a plane that takes a little getting use to, it is very pitch
sensitive, and gliders well in ground effect.
Building times as reported
by the factory and actual builders seem a little low. The craft does have
folding wings. The factory location is also a little unique in that it is
an abandoned missile silo.
