Designed and prototyped
in 1989 the 12 received , the test pilot?s comment was that:
?It?s a Cream Puff?. At Oshkosh ?90, it took 3rd place in
the light plane category.
The 12 is constructed of the same materials as the Nieuport
11 with the exception of the main wing spars which are
formed sheet. |

The 12 is a 2 place ideal for
lazy afternoons and first time airplane rides. It is very
stable as the original, which was designed to be a photo
recon plane.
Recommended power plant is the ROTEC R2800 or Rotax 582.
Construction is fabric covered tube structure, pull riveted
gussets and AN bolts. Plans are oriented to the experienced
builder with little instruction needed. Videos are available
of Building procedures 4 hrs (sorry poor picture quality) as
well as a flight preview video (2 hours).
The NIEUPORT 12 is a WW 1, - 7/8 scale
replica bi- plane, designed by Graham Lee. The craft can be
built from a set of plans or from a raw materials kit.
Building times will range from 1000 to
2000 hours depending on how the plane is being constructed.
The plane can be powered by engines as small as the 52 HP
Rotax 503 to the Rotax 912. Other engines that have been
used successfully include car and motorcycle conversions.
A T.U.F. VIEW
The NIEUPORT 12 is a tandem seating, tractor configuration
WW 1 7/8 scale Bi Plane. Controls are standard stick and
rudder.
When powered by 65 HP, (Rotax 503 not
really enough power) at gross, it will climb out at 600 feet
per minute, and cruise in the 75 m.p.h. range. It is a
rather large aircraft with lots of leg room and very docile
handling. Stall speed is down around 35 m.p.h.
A real eye pleaser and attention grabber
when finished off nicely.
