A T.U.F. VIEW
The Weedhopper is a true bugs and exhaust fumes in your face
aircraft. When powered by the 503 Rotax engine the single surface
winged aircraft will climb out at 600 feet per minute and set back
to cruise at 50 m.p.h.
It turns with rudder only and has no ailerons or spoilers. For
true back to the basic, cheap, affordable fun this is your baby.
