GPM-35 Casalo

17.4k Geekpride  8.0 years ago

A simple propeller plane, aimed at recreational pilots and flying schools. It has a relatively low power engine that is cheap and efficient, it gets a lot of range from the built-in fuel tanks. Efficiency is further improved by the retractable front landing gear; there is no rear landing gear as a taildragger design is adequate, simple and inexpensive.
Performance is reasonable, this is capable of standard aerobatic manoeuvres, and the plane is well balanced and easy to fly.
