Robin DR400-180

480 GrangerDynamics  3.5 years ago

Conceived in the early 1970s by french engineers Pierre Robin and Jean Délémontez, the wooden-made DR400 is part of the great Robin family. Thanks to its wooden frame and its cranked wing, this french-born demonstrates high capability in range and towing charge, especially when fitted with a 180 hp engine.

In this replica, the cockpit is entirely inspired by the Robin’s design ; the flaps lever is movable, as are sticks and pedals.
