pylon500 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 The Lopresti Fury; is a modified and updated version of the Globe/Temco Swift; from the late 40's. The Swift is an attractive aircraft in itself, but built simple and light, and somewhat underpowered with up to a 145hp C0-300. Roy Lopresti ended up with the rights to the Swift, and was converting them with up to 200hp, modified bubble canopy and a mod kit to convert the controls to sticks (original Swift has twin yokes) There are only two Swifts (originals) in Australia that I know of VH-BYB and VH-XTG, both of which I have worked on while at Bankstown. I don't know of any Fury's in Australia, but original Swifts can be bought out of the US for very reasonable prices..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
