            This FK 9 Version 
            was designed to meet the requirements for cruising and long-distance 
            flights.
            High Cruising Speeds and a robust carbon fibre 
            airframe with integrated tubular steel frame 
            crash protection makes this airplane a faster and safer 
            cruiser. Large distances up to 1000 km operation range as well as 
            speeds of over 200 km/h combined with good landing properties. These 
            features have made the FK9 one of the most widely sold light 
            aircraft in Germany and Europe. Space-Saving Hangaring due to the 
            optional feature wing-folding mechanism and the one-man assembly 
            aid.
            
             
            Practical construction 
             
            With an inner width of 1.08 m, the cockpit is similar to that of the 
            Cessna 172. 
            (Width: +2 cm, length: +8 cm)
            The external luggage loading door and the 
            cockpit doors with gas driven spring-openers provide easy and 
            comfortable access to the cabin and the luggage space.
            The aircraft is available as a kit 
            or ready built. A Utility version is also available.
