Additional Remarks
- Distinguished by its vibrant red spat ‘shoes,’ reminiscent of the iconic character from the 1939 film “The Wizard of Oz,” this aircraft is affectionately known among enthusiasts as ‘Dorothy.’
- The Aeroprakt A-22 Foxbat is a Ukrainian-designed two-seat, high-wing, tricycle landing gear ultralight aircraft created by Yuri Yakovlev and manufactured by Aeroprakt. In the United States, the A-22 is recognized as the Valor, while in the UK and Australia, it is referred to as the Foxbat. Additionally, it has been marketed under the name Vision. The Aeroprakt A-22 is available either as a factory-built “ready-to-fly” aircraft or as a kit comprising 152 components, which can be assembled in approximately 500 man-hours.
- The A-22 is constructed primarily from metal, incorporating composite materials for the engine cowling, wing fillets, and wheel spats. Its wing upper surfaces are aluminum-covered, while the lower surfaces are fabric-covered. All control surfaces are covered with fabric on both top and bottom, enhancing visibility through the ample glazing, which includes convex doors for direct viewing below. Featuring a 3-axis control system, the A-22 provides the pilot with full control of the aircraft. Instead of ailerons and flaps, flaperons are used, resulting in a stall speed of approximately 28 knots when fully deployed. Dual controls are integrated through a central “Y” yoke control system.
- Charlie Hotel is powered by a low-hour 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS engine, delivering exceptional short-field performance.
- ‘Dorothy’ truly embodies the joy of flying with its agility, cost-effectiveness, and overall delightful flying experience.
