  • The Avenger Easy to Build, Fun to Fly!
    The Avenger Fisher Flying Products is proud to offer the Avenger to ultralight and light plane builders and flyers. The ultralight/light plane industry has lost sight of the original impetus for the movement of “Low Cost Flying.” The Avenger was designed to be both attractive and inexpensive from the very first drawing. Fisher has kept the larger pilot in mind, making the Avenger capable of accommodating a pilot up to 6’4”tall and 270 pounds. The kit contains all the materials needed to complete the airframe except: engine, engine mount, instruments, pilot restraints, and paint. All wood is cut dimensionally and all plywood is cut to shape. Metal parts are ready for installation. The construction is all wood using a Warner Truss frame with 1/8 birch ply skins yielding the lightest, strongest fuselage available. Kits feature premolded fibre-glass cowling and molded windshield with canopy for cold weather flying. Full sized plans are included in each kit. Easy to build, fun to fly! The Avenger kit was laid out from the beginning with the first time builder in mind. Just like assembling a large model airplane, most parts are precisely cut to the correct size. Each part is numbered with the corresponding numbers on the prints. In about 300 fun and exciting hours you should have your Avenger assembled, covered, and ready to paint. With a 26-50 hp two stroke (the Avenger) or a 65 hp VW (the Avenger V), the plane shows spectacular performance on takeoff, climb, and cruise. The Avenger is quite stable for hands off flying while maintaining light control pressure with good control response.

  • Revised Listing of Amateur Built Aircraft Kits
    REVISED LISTING OF AMATEUR-BUILT AIRCRAFT KITS Updated on: June 22, 2021 The following is a revised listing of aircraft kits that have been evaluated and found eligible in meeting the “major portion” requirement of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 21, Certification Procedures for Products and Parts, specifically, § 21.191(g). • This listing is only representative of those kits where the kit manufacturer or distributor requested an evaluation by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for eligibility and should not be construed as meaning the kit(s) are FAA “certified,” “certificated,” or “approved.” • There are other aircraft kits that may allow a builder to meet the “major portion” requirement of § 21.191(g), but those manufacturers or distributors have not requested an FAA evaluation. • The placement of an aircraft kit on this list is not a prerequisite for airworthiness certification. • The primary purpose of this listing is to assist FAA Inspectors/Designees and other interested individuals by eliminating the duplication of evaluations for “major portion” determination when the aircraft is presented for airworthiness certification as an “Amateur-Built Experimental.” • Kit manufacturers or distributors whose status is unknown are identified with a question (?) mark and their address has been deleted. Additional Information and Guidance • Advisory Circular (AC) 20-27G, Certification and Operation of Amateur-Built Aircraft. • FAA Order 8130.35B, Amateur-Built Aircraft National Kit Evaluation Team • Contact your local FAA Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) or Manufacturing Inspection District Office (MIDO).
