Guess This Aircraft ?


Recommended Posts

The aircraft is an M-Squared Breese II, registered N18VE. The M-Squared line of aircraft was started in 1996 when a former Quicksilver Manufacturing employee, Paul Mather, decided to offer retrofit kits to convert the Quicksilver II from cable-braced wings to a strut-braced configuration with jury struts.

The Malmö Flygindustri MFI-9 Junior was a light aircraft produced in Sweden in the 1960s. The aircraft was also produced under license as the Bölkow Bo 208. This one is the original, not the licensed version.

You might be right PMcC, but my source listed as a Breese II, as did the FAA Registry, and the Quiksilver reference is from Wikipedia.

You are right as usual...This from a 2003 report:

 

Let’s face it. M-Squared is up against Quicksilver as it makes ultralights that closely (but not exactly) resemble the MX series from Quicksilver.

 

All this is no revelation to ultralight regulars aware that M-Squared boss Paul Mather was a very long-time employee of Quicksilver and only left a few years ago because Quicksilver collapse looked more likely than success.
