Variants

A Rotax 912S installed in a Dyn'Aéro MCR01 'CLUB'
MCR01 'VLA' (Sportster)

The MCR01 VLA (Sportster) is the JAR-VLA (Very Light Aircraft) version of the MCR, with combined flaperons, for the amateur-built category in most countries and flown with a Private Pilot Licence. The maximum speed is 318 km/h (198 mph or 172 kts) when powered by the 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS while the stall speed in landing configuration is 87 km/h (54 mph or 47 kts). The wing of this aircraft has a chord as small as 0.80 m and an area of 5.20 m². While the early version of the kit was intended to have wings made from bonded aluminium sheet like the Colomban MC-100, this skin has been replaced with carbon fibre as can be seen on photographs shown by Dyn'Aéro Australia and New Zealand: "Note the advanced state of the wings behind the fuselage... The black colour is the natural colour of the carbon fibre before priming".[1] Nowadays, everything in the plane is made out of carbon fiber. Even rudder pedals are carbon fiber.[2] The design features a T-tail.[3] The wings of the aircraft are easlily removed from the fuselage so that the whole aircraft can be towed and stored in a trailer.

MCR01 'CLUB'

The MCR01 CLUB is a version with a slightly bigger wing than the VLA, and meets the microlight (ultralight) regulations for Australia and New Zealand and some other countries.

MCR01 'ULC'

The MCR01 ULC is designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules. It has a 8.64 m (28.3 ft) span wing with an area of 8.13 m2 (87.5 sq ft) and a stall speed of 63 km/h (39 mph). Cruise speed is 271 km/h (168 mph) when equipped with a 80 hp (60 kW) Rotax 912UL engine.[3]

MCR '4S'
