I've been interested in the Pou Du Ciel (flying Flea) aircraft for a number of years now. I'm a longtime builder and I've had a hankering to contruct an Ultralight (maybe heavier) version of Minet's Flea.
If anyone knows of a good set of plans I'd be interested. I've been to the Flea web site(s) and I've kinda come up empty handed as to a supplier of an ultralight flea design. I have my own grass airstrip on my small farm and the flea would be a perfect fit.
Also I've checked out just about every video there is on the net about the flea and I cannot find a single one that demostrates the "claimed" STOL or Parachute landing of these types. Every video I've seen thus far has them taking off and landing like any other aircraft with quite long runs. Heck my Corben Jr. Ace gets off the ground in 300 feet so I figure a lightweight Flea would better that.
Any input as to how I can get a case of the Fleas would be welcome!
