The FP-505 Skeeter-1

The FP-505 Skeeter Once you are in the cockpit of the FP-505, you can't wait to get into the air. In a short distance of 150 feet you are air-borne and climbing at 800 feet per minute. With the wings above you, the visibility is excellent, and you're rewarded with a clear view of what's around and below you. Even at the slowest speed, the FP-505 maintains the flight characteristics that make for safe, enjoyable flying. Optional brakes assist in shorter take-off and landing rolls. High wing, Open cock-pit This affordable light plane combines two of the most coveted virtues for flying purists: a high wing and an open cock-pit. The pylon-mounted high wing leaves the cockpit essentially unenclosed, offering the pilot spectacular visibility and the freedom of an open cockpit design. Fueled by a 40 horsepower Rotax, the compact FP-505 delivers plenty of go once you get up. Shock-absorbing gear and geodetic construction contribute to a sturdy aircraft in an exceedingly affordable price range.
