If the ultralight movement is going to
rebound from the blow it suffered with the introduction of
the light sport aircraft rule, then it will be because of
manufacturers like Fisher Aircraft who have been producing
safe, fun flying, all wood aircraft designs.
Designs that can be built from plans or from kits with
prices starting at $5,400.00 with the highest model kit
priced at less than $15,000.00In
kit form a customer can purchase a full airframe kit,
partial kits, or quick build kits. The factory is now
located in Toronto Ontario Canada, with the raw materials
purchased from mills just two hours from the factory.
Fisher produces fourteen different models of aircraft, four
two seat monoplanes, five bi-planes, and six single seat
monoplanes. |

In single place Fisher offers the Avenger a
low wing tractor, the FP 202 Koala a high wing tractor, the
FP 303 low wing tractor, and the FP 505 Skeeter all of which
are tail draggers, and the FP 606 Sky Baby a high wing
 tractor in a tri-cycle gearAll of
the single place monoplanes can be built as legal ultralight
aircraft in the U.S. To do that requires that the Hirth F
33, 28 hp engine which weighs in at only 40 lbs be used, and
the plane has to be equipped with only minimal instruments,
seat, wheels and tires. These planes can also be built in
the amateur built / experimental category which will allow
the use of the Rotax 447, and 503.
One of the most popular Fisher two seat
aircraft the Dakota Hawk, features all wood construction,
side by side seating and has folding wings for ease of
storage.
The Dakota Hawk is usually powered by the Rotax 912
series of engines. Another popular two seat model is the
Super Koala, which again is side by side seating but is
designed to be powered by the Rotax 503 and 582 two stroke
engines. The Fisher Horizon 1 and Horizon 2 are designed to
handle more conventional aircraft engines, as well as VW
conversions.
For those looking for a more barnstormer
era feeling Fisher has the R 80 Tiger Moth, the Celebrity,
and the Fisher Classic in two place bi planes as well as the
FP 404 and Youngster in single place bi planes.
Building times for the single place models
range from 300 to 350 hours with the more complex bi-planes
and two place aircraft like the Dakota Hawk taking 700 to
750 hours to complete.
