For those of you that are interested in the AeroplanesDAR Solo or Duo aircraft. This is a warning! The first RTF or Ready To Fly solo was purchased my me and flown. The first flight on June 1st, 2017 was successful. Due to incredibly poor workmanship from the Bulgarian factory the first 9 ribs on the left wing were not riveted properly to the main spar. This lead to a structural failure of the left wing in flight on the second flight June 2nd, 2017. The photo of the wing rib is from the FAA where they concluded the cause of the crash was a structural failure of the wing ribs in the left wing.
Now note, post the crash, the manufacturer in Bulgaria has opted to run and hide by eliminating my distributorship, not funding repairs for their mistake, and refusing to take any responsibility for their mistake of poor workmanship.
This is a warning! Do not purchase this aircraft unless you desire to put your life on the line. I was very lucky I lived thru the crash. The Canada distributor has taken over my territory and will be attempting to sell these aircraft to the United States. DO NOT BUY THESE AIRCRAFT!
