B&F Technik FK-12 Comet

Peter Funk started in 1994 with the development of an Ultralight biplane, which went in production at the end of 1997 as the FK-12 Comet. The FK12 Comet is an ultra-light two-seat aerobatic biplane design using modern materials.

It has good flight performance with optimised laminar flow wings with 4 full length ailerons (flaperons) making it highly agile with good visability. The wings fold down in a few minutes giving it a width of only 2.42m for storage.

The FK12 has a max. speed of 220 km/h and engines used are Rotax 912 or 912S of 80-100hp. Price 2009: 46000 EURO
