Flight Synthesis 'Wallaby'

This really cool ultralight aircraft is a Fly Synthesis Wallaby - it is a two seat ultralight three-axis basic aircraft with open cockpit, designed to get more elevated performances in comparison to the traditional basic ultralight aircraft. The simple configuration of the Wallaby allows for short take-off and landing runs and a good cruise speed with quite modest fuel consumption figures. Even though only a basic aircraft, the Wallaby comes with the safety and strength of composite materials and boasting some of the latest technology! The Wallaby is a genuine ultralight aircraft and is fun, giving the pilot and passenger the complete and pure enjoyment of flying with excellent visibility, optimum control at low speed, and an easy to operate and maintain aircraft.

The Wing profile on the Wallaby is laminar type with full span ailerons separate from the wing (Junker type). The Wallaby has a very clean profile allowing for a fairly slipery aircraft for its type. Each half-wing is available with metallic structure dressed again in composite or integrally in composite. The ailerons are made from fiber glass rivetted to a tubular spar in light alloy. Each aileron is hinged on the support fixed to the wing and the movement is directly braced and balanced by counterweights that also prevents any flutters of the control surface. Also, each half-wing is connected to the fuselage through two bolts in special steel that are fixed to galvanized steel flanges on the tail boom pipe.

The fuselage is made by a hull in fiber glass with a self-carrying structure strengthened by one piece rims which has a guarantee rigidity. The main rim of strength crosses the rear area of the cabin and, on it, the main undercarriage loads are supported. Tail boom pipe, is made with aluminium alloy, of the same type used for the wing spar, and has been fixed to the fuselage through rivets. The front zone of the cockpit is delimited by the windshield made of plastic transparent material fixed to the frame through rivets and allows for very-good visibility. In the lower part of the cockpit, in a zone particularly strengthened, the painted steel counterbraced connection strut is bolted. Common seats are made with composite structure and two upholstered pillows in Dacron. Empennage are made entirely in composite material to guarantee lightness and structural rigidity. the tail fin is directly locked with rivets to tail boom, and the rudder is directly hinged on it by connections attached with rivets to a composite matrix. Stabilator also includes a trim in pitch axis that is directly controlled from the cockpit. To avoid flutter, Stabilator, is provided with balancing counterweights.

In the lower area of the tail boom, there is a specially designed caudal fin, adding to the stability of this aircraft. Landing gear is a fixed tricycle type - offering good flexibility and shock-absorbing charectoristics during take-off and landing.  The Wallaby has drum brakes wich act together by the command lever positioned on the central control stick. The Wallaby comes with the following instruments: pressure altimeter airspeed indicator rate of climb indicator turn coordination indic. (ball) magnetic compass. Engine instruments: RPM head temperature (CHT) temperature of exhaust gas (EGT) The aircraft is also supplied with engine run time indicator. Other instruments are available as optional.
