Why did I
decide to build a Falco? I always wanted to build an airplane, and thought
about building a small aerobatic biplane like the Pitts. But one day Enzo
Marrucci offered to sell me the factory jigs of the plane
and.. I had no doubt about starting!
The Falco is certainly an excellent performer!
I enjoyed
it's construction since the very first moment. After having studied the
drawings and prepared the workshop I decided to build all the wood and
the metal parts based on the original drawings.
In this site
you'll find a construction section with many pictures and description
about the work i've been doing to date. I hope that this section will
be helpful to other builders and others!
Note that
due to the interest of many visitors and this site will be growing on
a regular basis as new parts of the plane are completed..
The
Falco is a plane with a long and illustrious HISTORY!
So you will find a section dedicated to the history of this marvellous
plane.
