I recently had a chance to try a Dynaero *MCR01. (snip...)


I'd like to see what the 4 seat version can do too.


What country are you flying in?


Also, nice numbers, but are wings filled with helium?


Min speed: * * *47 kt
Cruise speed: *159 kt
Vne: * * * * * * 173 kt


Climb ratio: 1750 ft/min


Max. takeoff weight: *1080 lbs
Empty weight: * * * * *573 lbs


Engine: ROTAX 912, 912 S or 914, Jabiru


Besides the _very_ light weight and very slippery design, the airplane
uses a variable-pitch prop and double-slotted flaps to achieve those
numbers. *That is one sexy little airplane.

Yes, it makes a mockery of the US sport plane limitations.
