Introduction:
The Fouga Magister has been the French jet trainer for
the Air Force and the Navy since 1957. It was built by
a small french company Castel Mauboussin, now called Aerospatial
EADS.... More than 900 Fouga have been built and a lot
of them are sold worldwide. (Germany, Austria, Brasil,
Finland, Ireland, Israel, ...). Until 1981, the Fouga
was used by the ‘’Patrouille de France’’,
the french aerobatic team display. All the french Fouga
are now retired and a lot of them are now flying by private
pilot all over the world.
The Fouga Magister from AVIATION DESIGN is designed for
a single turbine.
It is a scale kit, built from the original ‘’Castel
Mauboussin factory’’ plans from 1955. All
the panel lines and rivets (about 15 000) are engraved
in the fuselage and wings.
It is fully molded in fiberglass, carbon and epoxy. Up
to 80% of the work is done in our factory. The flight
characteristics are excellent. It is a very easy to fly
model, with a excellent stability. Take off is not a problem
: just throttle up and the Fouga will take off automatically.
All aerobatics manoevres can be done, the loops are enormous,
rolls can be done fast or slow. Inverted flight is not
a problem. For landing, the air brakes are powerfull and
they have no pitch effect, so landing precision is excellent.
The Fouga has also very good low speed capability.
If
you should get a flameout, you can do a complete circuit
and a perfect landing without a problem. Fuel tanks are
designed large enough (4 liters) to have a minimum of 10
minutes of flight without problem. The Fouga Magister will
operate from prepared grass fields or tarmac surfaces. Minimum
size engine is a single 10 kg (22 lbs) thrust turbine. It
will take off from grass in about 200 meters (650 ft) and
150 meters (490 ft) from tarmac
Maximum size engine is a single 16 kg (40 lbs) thurst turbine.
It will take off in about 50 meters (160 ft) from tarmac
and 70 meters (230 ft) from grass.
The model has plug in wings and stabs. The fuselage can
be disassemble in 2 parts for transportation and access
to bifurcated pipe.
The Fouga Magister is designed for an easy assembly and
an easy utilisation and maintenance. The big hatches give
a good access to the radio, batteries, engine equipment,
fuel tank, pump and to the bifurcated tailpipe.
Of course the Fouga Magister is fully composite (glass and
carbon epoxy) to reduce the assembly time, and improve the
overall quality.
