The Sparrow II

Undoubtedly, superb enjoyment. The two place side by side SPARROW II gives you flying at its best. Actual flight testing has verified what we already knew from calculations - WE HAVE A GENTLE TO HANDLE, GUTSY ON STRUCTURE, SUPER FLYING MACHINE. Made from 4130 steel, the airframe is oxy-acetylene welded assuring complete welds with FULL penetration. Wing ribs are factory completed and ready to slide on extruded aluminum I beam spars. Drag and compression members are square aluminum, making one of the strongest wing structures in the light plane field.

Streamline struts increase performance and improve appearance. Enhanced maneuverability and superb short field performance is assured with the independent flaps and ailerons. The 40 inch wide enclosed cockpit has dual controls, an easy access baggage compartment, 10 gallon fuel tank and pre-sewn slip covers are standard. Many options for customizing are available including skis and floats. A folding wing with full span aileron control is also an option.

Recommended power plant should be 52 to 80 HP. Fully approved as a kit aircraft by the FAA. We have endeavored to make the building process an enjoyable experience. All precision machining and bending are done for you. The satisfaction of having built and finished your own airplane, plus the safe flying enjoyment for many years to come, make the SPARROW II a double source of enjoyment. In terms of both quality and performance, it is there!
