Why DINGO?
In 1971, the aircraft called Hovey Whing Ding had its maiden flight and inspired the aviators to establish a new category of aircraft very well known as FAR – part 103. In the 1970s, unfortunately, a suitable engine was not available. So, the Hovey Whing Ding could fly only over the flat fields.
The DINGO has been developed to honour the legacy of the first „ultralight“ Hovey Whing Ding as a reminder of what was behind the establishment of today’s widespread aircraft category.

Design
The Dingo is a single-seat open cockpit biplane, powerplant in pusher configuration and classic landing gear with a T-tail empennage. It was designed with a focus on easy and quick assembly. That is guaranteed by the so-called „hole-to-hole“ technology used for DINGO production. The sheet metal parts are drilled and prepared to allow the builder to only rivet them together.
The airframe is riveted from sheets made of aluminium alloy 6061 and 2024, which are commonly used in the aerospace industry. The wings, floating elevator and rudder are covered with Ceconite polyester fabric. There is a composite seat riveted to the front part of the fuselage. The 10 l plastic fuel tank is located inside the fuselage behind the pilot’s seat and behind that, the powerplant is mounted to the fuselage by using rubber silent blocks. The main landing gear is welded from thin-walled steel tubes and attached by bolts to the bottom part of the fuselage under the seat. The tail gear is steerable and equipped with a spring element made of rubber silent block. The ailerons and elevator are connected to the stick by push-pull rods, and the rudder is connected to welded pedals by cables.

What do the manuals look like?
Manuals are created in two versions. The first version is an illustrated manual in pdf. This pdf manual includes assembly breakdowns and part numbers. The second version is the videos of the individual airframe subassemblies, which show the sequence of how to correctly assemble the DINGO.
