  • Italian Air Race

    no, not an ethnic joke.

    Falco Pylon Race Fly Party Thiene 25.06.2011 iCECi iTRIP iALDI iDRIM iMIKI


    Falcos racing with a good show on the home stretch. Reno's the main event, but there should be more of this kind of racing.

    If you are not familiar with the type, was designed by Frati before he designed the SF260. These appear to be factory built ('55-'62) except the red one which is a recent build with a bunch of NOS parts.

      very cool video, the Falco lives on with an all composite kit being made here in NZ under the Furio name..
      Check them out here..
      The Furio is a state-of-the-art high-performance aircraft that enables a new generation of pilots to experience the satisfaction of building and flying their own aircraft.

        About Falco in the movie. I-DRIM is an homebuilt (1992-2006) from Sequoia kit and is equipped with Lycoming 200-HP (IO-360-A1B6).

          Yes, I looked up i-drim after my first post. My falco slowly takes shape in my shop...

          and kiwiracefan -- the furio looks good, but it's PLASTIC. Where is the satisfaction in putting together 35 preformed composite structural parts when the original falco can be lovingly constructed out of thousands of beautiful spruce parts elegantly hand hewn and sanded to shape?

          really though, Giovanni and co have done a nice job on the Furio.

            It's even better if you grow and harvest your own spruce...
