            Fisher Classic 
      
      
        
      
            
              
            
            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 Classic 
             
            Sharing the responsive flight characteristics of the 404, the 
            two-place Classic also lets you share the experience with a 
            passenger. Dual controls give you the option of front or back 
            position, and an 85 mph cruise speed gives you just plain fun.  
             
            The two-place Classic represents a reborn era in airborne adventure. 
            This bi-plane aircraft is a throw-back to seat-of-the-pants flying, 
            complete with minimal instruments and bare-necessity controls. The 
            sports car of light-planes, the Classic is a flying experience that 
            will leave you flying.  
             
            Featuring short wings, four ailerons and a semi-symmetrical airfoil, 
            the aircraft answers commands instantaneously. Geodetic wood 
            construction and additional bracing contribute to exceptional 
            structural strength, enough to withstand higher Gs than most light 
            planes.  
             
            For experimental models, a 64 horsepower Rotax engine pours out more 
            than enough power for exhilarating, 800 feet-per-minute climbs and 
            turns that will push you and your passenger back in your seats. The 
            plane is as responsive as you are aggressive.
