Does anyone know of any examples of the Fournier RF47 registered and flying
in the US? It's supposed to be a JAR VLA bird, 2 seater, 119kt vne, 620kg
gross. Looks interesting, but I have only found Fournier motorgliders on the
registry, all experimental exhibition?

Juan, no luck on my search of the January 2006 registration database. A brief
search online shows one for sale in France, none registered in Great Britain,
and two web pages (date of last updates unknown...) that say, "will be put into
production one day."

Were they actually produced, or is that one for sale in France the only existing
example?

Sounds like "E.I.S. Aircraft GmbH" is the successor company to Sportavia-Putzer.
My database did show one RF-5 as "Experimental Amateur-Built" (N66GL), but
nothing outside of the experimental category.
