Default Bolkow Junior (MFI 9)

Maybe the Cygnet was inspired by the Bolkow Junior. The Junior came out
as an all metal certified aircraft in the US in 1963. 0200A/ 850lbs/
125 mph aerobatic normal/utility aircraft. Rare.

Interesting looking critter, that. Kind of reminds me of the "Cygnet"
(or some such name) a shoulder-winged homebuilt I saw in Carlisle eight
or nine years ago. Powered by a Great Plains VW.

Anybody know if theree is any relationship, one to the other?

I believe a number of MFI-9HB are being built/ were built in Sweden. I
looked a few years ago at the EAA "status" report which indicated %
complete to date. I also have a few pages of the homebuilt version. I love
my Junior.
