| Description |
Built 1980 This machine is Norway’s first three axes microlight. On display in the Civil Aircraft Hall of the Norsk Luftfartsmuseum (Norwegian Aviation Museum). Bodø, Northern Norway 24th May 2019 The following information is from the Museum website:- “The museum’s Rally is Norway’s first microlight with conventional controls and control surfaces in all three axes - so the aircraft can be flown with stick and pedals like a normal aircraft. It was manufactured in 1980 and was imported by Even Birkeland in 1984. It is a good example of an early microlight. With its simple construction it is often compared to a motorised hang glider with wheels. It is constructed of aluminium struts and wires, fabric, a snow scooter engine, a couple of wheels and a plastic dining chair. When the aircraft was imported in 1984, there were no regulations for microlights in Norway. Birkeland belonged to a small group with a landing strip at Kløfta, who were working to put the rules in place. Because he had a glider pilot’s licence, had flown some hours on powered aircraft and had previously flown this type of machine abroad, the aviation authorities gave him dispensation to fly. The machine flew for a few years and was then transferred to the Norwegian Technical Museum. It was stored there for a while and was then lent to a restaurant on Aker Brygge, before being sent back to Birkeland. Even Birkeland donated the aircraft to the Norwegian Aviation Museum in 2016.“ |
