CHRISTAVIA MK-1 AND MK-2
Overview
| Aircraft Spruce & Specialty Co. has acquired the design rights to the popular Christavia MK1, Christavia MK2, and Christavia MK4 homebuilt aircraft from the designer, Ron Mason of Elmwood Aviation in Canada.
Designed in 1982 as a mission field workhorse. The design requirements were short take-off and landing, small engine (low fuel consumption), low stall speed, good cruise speed and rate of climb, large cabin area, low maintenance and high safety factor. The Christavia is easy to fly, and the large cabin makes long flights more comfortable. Over 1000 sets of the plans have been sold for the MK1 (two place tandem), MK2 (two place side-by-side), and MK4 (four place). Aircraft Spruce has these plans available as well as information packs with complete material packages for construction. Christavia MK-1 Christavia MK-2 |
