A “new built” Flitzer 21 Z biplane reportedly constructed from original plans bought from Lynn Williams has been spotted for sale. The listing states (in part):
The entire lining of the aircraft and the wings are covered with poplar plywood 2mm. Ailerons are balanced at 100% and rudders at 90% as well as the handlebars. The entire geometry of the aeroplane, its dimensions and its shape correspond to 99% of the original. The steering of the ailerons and the rudder is rigid through duralumin tubes and precise. They are also easily disassembled and assembled.
The landing gear is divided into two parts – each working for itself. The wheels are reinforced and are stronger than what usually is required. The tail skid is replaced with a wheel for better manoeuvrability and control on the ground. The Verner engine is great – it has 84 horsepower. The engine is lightweight, with gearboxes, carburettors and is air-oil cooled. It has 29 hours and is equipped with an electric starter. We are still fine-tuning and make cosmetic adjustments. The aeroplane will do more test flights this spring at the Kazanluk airfield, Bulgaria.
The machine is located in Kazanluk, Bulgaria and is currently being offered for £70,000 (or about US $87,500), although offers are also being accepted. Click here to check out the complete listing on eBay.
