            Fisher 202 Koala 
      
      
        
      
            
            
              
            Well established Fisher Flying 
            Products has reproduced the flying qualities of many classic 
            airplanes in structurally sound and extremely affordable aircraft. 
            These ultra light and experimental aircraft have proven aerodynamic 
            stability and desirable flight characteristics. 
             
            From the company’s modern plant in Edgeley, North Dakota, the 
            components for 15 classic replicas are manufactured by trained and 
            experienced craftsmen. Research and development for new aircraft is 
            on-going. Fisher Flying Products’ entire line of aircraft is sold 
            throughout the United States and in 30 foreign countries. 
             
            All models are available in two build-it-yourself forms: 
             
            A standard construction kit, which offers the builder the experience 
            of assembling the entire aircraft from pre-cut, shaped and slotted 
            wooden pieces, machined hardware, a formed fibreglass cowling and 
            aluminium fuel tank.  
            A quick-build kit which contains a number of pre-fabricated 
            components in addition to the standard pre-cut and formed parts 
            found in the standard kit.  
             
            Both kits come complete with easy-to-follow instructions and the 
            industry’s finest full scale-full size blueprints. These blueprints 
            allow the builder to essentially build the aircraft right on top of 
            the blueprints with standard household tools. 
             
            Standard construction kits can be completed by the average builder 
            in 400–500 hours and quick-build kits reduce the construction time 
            to 200–300 hours. 
            Flying the FP-202 Koala 
             
            A steerable tail wheel and optional electric start are your first 
            indications that flying the Koala is as easy as owning it. Optional 
            brakes assist in shorter take off and landing rolls.  
             
            Even at the slowest speeds, the Koala maintains the stable flight 
            characteristics that make for safe, enjoyable flights. Large 8-foot 
            ailerons provide confident roll control at high speeds, and stall 
            speed is an enviable 26 mph.  
             
            While your engine takes you up at a 900 to 1400 feet per minute 
            climb, it also emits a relatively low noise level, effectively 
            reduced by Lord mounts, tuned exhaust and geared reduction drive.
