CHINOOK DR
The Chinook DR is a modified Chinook Plus 2 with the DR Landing Gear System. It comes with standard 5 gallon strut tanks and metalized fuselage. The Chinook DR aircraft kit comes in two versions, 2 stroke (Rotax 582UL) and 4 stroke (Rotax 912UL).
The kit comes complete to build the aircraft, but does not include the engine, engine accessories, propeller and paint. The Chinook DR can be modified to add our in-wing 10 gallon aluminum tanks for an additional charge.
This aircraft is extremely STOL.
