to +9 G's & -6 G's without breaking (to be confirmed)
GPH burn rate __4.5
Optimum Range __200 M
Best cruise speed __65-70
Top speed ___80-85
Stall speed __30+/- one up
Front & Rear engines:
Rotax 503
"B" gear box
Time on front engine __150 SINCE O/H

TBO is 300.
(That was the max gross permitted for CDN UL at time of its current registration.
This differs from the "Jane's" quote at "Wikipedia", based on earlier airframes and
small engines. A similar Toucan to mine was registered after a rebuild at the new limits:
1200 Gross.
The Wikipedia quote on plus & minus G's ( 6 & 3) is the safe factor with the original.
They were static tested to 9 & 6 without breaking. BTW adding extra weight and HP
expontentially stresses the G loading.
Empty weight __490 (pre-503)
To be determined...a new weight & balance is being done.
Wingspan: 38.5'
Length: 18' 11"

(Rotax 503, considerably more;
I have not measured mine yet.
The drag will increase with the speed.
P.S. The props are set for float flying at the moment.
*1 Correction from first page. I had said my plane has
junker aileron/flaperons; ignorance is not bliss -especially
in flying. Another Toucan pilot pointed out to me that our flaperons,
"reflex" approximately 5 deg, which is more of trim feature.
(It is possible to fly this version without
elivator control using the trim and engine throttle changes.)
The other Toucan feature on this webpage has an adjustable trim on the
elevator. Plus it has independant flaps. That plane has been flown slow flight at about 30 mph; it is
about 25 pounds heavier than mine.
