ISSN 0891-1851〕 ==Design and development== The SPAD XIII is built predominantly from riveted aluminum tubing and stainless steel gussets and stamped aluminum wing ribs, all covered in doped aircraft fabric. The landing gear is of conventional configuration, with a tail skid. For scale requirements the cockpit is only wide.〔〔〔〔 The standard engine recommended for the design is the out-of-production Rotax 277, with the also out-of-production Rotax 377 as an option. Other recommended engines include the Rotax 447 and 2si powerplants. Kit options include brakes and a long-range fuel tank.〔〔〔〔 The initial aircraft in the line is a scale replica of the First World War SPAD XIII. The same basic airframe has been developed, though the use of different rudders, wingtips, cowlings and other minor cosmetic differences, into replicas of other First World War fighter aircraft.〔〔〔〔 Reviewer Andre Cliche says about the SPAD XIII, that it "looks like a museum piece. But imagine that you can fly this museum piece and feel what the WWI pilots felt when they flew their war machines."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Loehle Spad XIII」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
