This is a 7/8 scale replica of a Nieuport 11/16, World War 1 biplane, built by myself from an Airdrome Aircraft kit obtained through Grass Strip Aviation, and constructed using modern materials principally aluminium tube. Registered as G-CILI, it first flew 27.9.2018, and has flown a total of 6 times, last flew September 2020, and has been since then stored dismantled on a trailer due to various circumstances including the airstrip which had been used not being available. The engine is a Subaru V Twin 4 stroke adapted and improved for aircraft use with a quoted power of 48hp, with belt reduction drive and Hercules prop. Wingspan 23ft 6 inches. This aircraft has been built to a high standard with many improvements and features added to the kit supplied, for example steerable tailwheel and brakes; and is painted to represent a real aircraft that served with 11 squadron Royal Flying Corps. The aircraft was displayed at the LAA Rally twice during construction, and received a Commendation.

The aircraft is compliant with the requirements for the Single Seat De-Regulated category (SSDR). Gross Weight 300kg, empty weight 193kg, so 107kg available for fuel and pilot. As currently configured it would suit pilots 70 to 90kg approx, and height up to 6ft approx, though it would be possible to adapt by altering seat position etc. It comes with a road going trailer (not enclosed), a 7/8 scale replica Lewis Gun, period Leather helmet and goggles.
