Dream Aircraft Tundra

With more than 20 years expertise in manufacturing and with Yvan Desmarais’s flying experience on many different aircrafts, the construction of the first prototype began in 1998. The first flight was done at the Bromont airport on May 12th 2001 with great success. Following this first flight, many more are accomplished in the month and with the necessary flying hours accumulated by June 7th 2001, the special flying certificate can be delivered. On October 3rd 2001, the first flight on floats is accomplished, again with great success.

The TUNDRA is a four place kit plane in the STOL aircraft category (Short Takeoff and Landing) with a useful load comparable to bigger airplanes. This airplane will carry four adults, their luggage and enough fuel for a trip of several hours, even in floatplane configuration. This experimental aircraft is a true four place airplane.
The TUNDRA is offered in either a tail dragger or a tricycle gear configuration. The TUNDRA structure is already built to attach a tail or nose wheel and even floats (all required parts are included).

The TUNDRA is an all metal plane with a useful load  of more than 1100 pounds and 58 gallons of fuel (219.5 lt).
