The AV Leichtflugzeuge Vagabund (Шаблон:Lang-en) is a German ultralight aircraft that was designed by Birk Meier, Hans Grannemann and Robert Kaps and produced by AV Leichtflugzeuge of Haren, Germany. The aircraft is supplied as a kit or plans for amateur construction or as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft.[1][2]

The design was marketed in the 1990s by Aircraft Coverings of Bad Essen, Germany.[3]

Design and development

The Vagabund was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules. It features a strut-braced biplane layout, a two-seats-in-tandem open cockpit, fixed conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration. The aircraft closely resembles the 1930s Bücker Bü 131.[1][2]

The aircraft is made from Polish pine, with its flying surfaces covered in doped aircraft fabric. Its Шаблон:Convert span wing employs ailerons on the lower wing only. The aircraft can use engines from Шаблон:Convert. The Шаблон:Convert Rotax 912UL, the Шаблон:Convert Jabiru 2200 and the Шаблон:Convert Limbach L2000 Volkswagen air-cooled engine have been fitted, along with automotive conversions such as the Nissan 1.2 litre engine.[1][2][3]
