Histoire résumée | Neville Swan of Auckland, New Zealand is flying the one-of-a-kind proof of concept Blue Wren self-launcher designed and
built by Reg Todhunter of Australia in preparation for a kit version. Mr Todhunter passed away in 1992 and the prototype was purchased by Neville. In a letter to Pete Williams, Swan said he replaced the original pusher engine with a 24hp 3qlinder Konig air cooled radial. He says it climbs at 450 fpm and performs much like a Blanik in soaring capability.
Empty weight is 2951bs! Swan was a contributor for Pete Williams new Self-Launch book and was an SLSPA member for several years. He sold his PIK-30 to Bill Willis several years ago. He also owned an SF-27M. For more information on the Blue Wren write: Neville Swan Westharbour Auckland 8 New Zealand |
