The Fisher Flying Product Dakota Hawk, proves that the
people at this company realize that we all don't shop in the
"petite" section.Having larger dimensions than any other
Fisher Flying Products model, the Dakota Hawk is obviously
meant for the pilot who doesn't like to feel cramped. It
offers 45 inches of legroom and can accommodate a payload of
550 pounds. |

In order to facilitate the
needs of an "ample occupant" (as the FFP people put it),
they designed the engine quarters for a four-stroke engine
(various engines--from Rotax to Continental to Norton to
Subaru to VW Conversions-- will
work, as long as they are in the 75 to 100 horsepower
category) and also added a "beefed-up" main spar.You can
cruise all day in this thing at 95 mph.... providing you
stop after two-and-a-half hours for a fill-up. Top speed is
right around 100 mph. The folks at FFP headquarters promise
us that the folding wings on this 600-pound craft can be
either set-up or taken-down in just five minutes.
Wheelpants and wingtanks are available so that you can
customize your Dakota Hawk.
Roughly 500 hours of your time will be enough to build this
craft; however, a quick-build option is available which will
cut at least 100 hours off of that... maybe even 200 if
you're lucky! |
