MD3 Rider

From the designer who brought you the popular SkyBoy comes the MD3 Rider currently being marketed by FlyItalia based near Milan, Italy. This attractive LSA-type airplane was created by Jaroslav Dostal, the man behind the Interplane SkyBoy. Jaro started with an interest in hang gliders and went all the way to FAR 23 commuter aircraft before returning to light sport designs. Look for a report in Kitplanes magazine (8/05 issue). And, I’ll have more to report after attending the Aero 2005 show in Germany.
