Yenn Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Does anyone have any info on the Murphy Rebel? I saw one today at Bundaberg registered 19-****. It looked great with a radial Rotec engine on it. I was told that it had only a few hours on it so far and had some problems with the engine which were fixed by Rotec. What I can't understand is how it can be RAAus registered with a manufacturers gross weight of 1650lb and an empty weight of 800-950 lbs. That would give a 400 lb payload at the optimum end of the scale. Not much chance of having a passenger and fuel. It really caught my eye as a good looking utility aeroplane.

facthunter Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Ian , they build up a lot lighter than those figures, but you could build the thing to take a Warner Scarab if you wanted to. They are a very versatile aeroplane. One that I have been involved with, empty weights at about 315 Kgs with a 100 hp rotax fitted Structurally they are very adequate & they have a nice control feel in the air Regards ...Nev..
