The Fisher FP-202 Koala was designed by Mike Fisher and Wayne Ison in 1981-3 time frame. It was an early Ultralight that actually looked like an airplane - unique in the days of flying spiders made of tubing and sail cloth. All wood construction made it an easy to build and inexpensive kit.
Although designed for (US) part 103 Ultralight rules, very few current aircraft make weight as it is common for twin cylinder engines to be used. The Koala is the most popular design of the 14 models Fisher Flying Products offers. With quoted 3000 + aircraft building or flying. It is modeled after the J-3 Cub and offers nostalgic good looks.
The Koala has 120 square ft. of wing area, a 254-300 lbs empty, a 500 lbs. + gross, designed for enignes under 60 horsepower. It has a very narrow fuselage and many builders will add a few inches to allow a more comfortable fit.
With the Fisher FP-202 Koala, the standard for personal aircraft has been redefined, but not redesigned. A strikingly faithful reproduction of one of the most popular aircraft ever built, the Koala can make the dream of owning a classic flying machine a reality.
Proven geodetic wood construction gives the FP 202 its strength; proven Fisher ingenuity gives the plane its appeal. A totally enclosed cockpit provides plenty of room for the pilot, while economy of instrumentation and controls allow plenty of room for fun flying.
More classic-style aircraft hardware abounds: An aluminum strut braced main spar carrythrough, a ground adjustable horizontal stabilizer, 14-inch pneumatic tires with rubber shock cord, and removable cockpit panels for summer flight.
The FP-202 Koala is a single seat plane designed by Wayne Ison in 1981 and produced since by Fisher Flying Products. The Fisher FP202 "Koala" has been in production as a kit since about 1983.
The craft uses all wood geodetic construction covered in standard aircraft covering materials.
Standard features include an enclosed cockpit with removable side panels, large pneumatic tires, a steerable tail wheel, 5 gallon fuel tank, fiberglass cowl and full scale plans.
Using the standard kit it takes about 500 hours to build a plane; using the Quick-Build kit it takes about 200 hours to build the plane.
Options include various engines, quick built kit options, brakes, electric start, and wheel pants. Also available are construction videos and a newsletter.
