Fifteen kits have now been sold by Falcomposite to a world-wide group of Builders. To follow is a brief summary of the build progress of some of the Kits. We will update and add to this list as we receive information from other Builders from Malaysia, South Africa etc .
KIT NO1 - Neil Sutherland- Auckland, NZ- I0-390 / Hartzell Propellor
Neil is now nearing completion of his Furio and nervously choosing the color (we think Ferrari-red!!).
Avionics choice is now finalized.
Neil was the first to opt for the Lycoming I0-390 with a Hartzell Blended Aerofoil CSU propellor and we are keen to report back on the performance of his Furio
We will keep you posted on further progress and test flying.
KIT NO 2 - Jim Sampson- Colorado, USA - I0-390 / Hartzell Propellor
Jim is also nearing completion of his Furio and it will be displayed at Oshkosh Airventure 2009.
KIT NO3 - Woody Rouse- Queenstown, NZ - I0-390 / Hartzell Propellor
Woody and Bill are racing thru their building and no doubt we will be suddenly surprised to hear of their first flight.
KIT NO4 - Michael Pendergast- Melbourne, Australia- IO 360 (chipped) ☺ Propellor TBA
Michael was the first client to take advantage of our build assist programme in NZ . His partly built Furio was then shipped to Australia and he is now progressing well in and amongst his other aviation commitments.
We look forward to seeing his Furio be the first to fly in Australia.
KIT NO5 - Jon Ludgater- Christchurch- IO 360, Propellor TBA
Jon is busy organizing the build process and gathering all of the parts. Building will start very soon, in amongst his busy airline career.
KIT NO6 - Peter Krieger - Matamata, NZ. - I0-390 with a Hartzell Propellor
Peter has completed the build assist programme and he is about ready to transport his Furio to his base at Matamata.
