	Station Information - Falco (aircraft)
		The Sequoia F.8L Falco is a lightweight 2-seater aerobatic aircraft, sold in kit form for self-assembly by the Sequoia Aircraft company of Richmond, Virginia.
		The aircraft is single-engined, propellor driven and designed for private and general aviation use.
		The aircraft was designed by the renowned Italian designer Stelio Frati in 1955, and originally built in Italy for sale, but the design was adopted in the US in the 1980s and converted to kit form.

	Flight Reports - Falco F.8L
		BY BRIEN A. The Falco F.8L is an all-wood, low-wing, 2-place, side-by-side aircraft introduced in kit form in 1979 by Sequoia Aircraft of Richmond, Virginia.
		Depending on the aircraft's loading, it would be fairly easy to violate the allowable C.G. range by depleting most of the fuel in one tank before switching to the other.
		The Falco is a relatively complex airplane with retractable gear, a constant speed propeller and a fore/aft fuel system that requires some management.

	Forty Years of Falcos (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		In June 1955, the first Falco, a small, classically proportioned wooden lightplane that looks more like a shrunken fighter than a private pilot's puddle jumper, was dragged atop a wagon to the Linate Airport, outside Milan, by a team of horses.
		Yet he is the creator of not only the Falco but the much-sought ex-military aerobat called the SIAI-Marchetti SF.260, and his two newest projects, the General Avia F.22 Pinguino and the Sprint trainer and sportplane, were being exhibited in the United States for the first time.
		When the Falco first went on the market in Italy, it inevitably gained a reputation as "a hot ship"--so fast and delicate in its handling that it would be too much of a handful for mere mortals.

	REGGIANE RE 2000 FALCO (HAWK): THE REGIA AERONAUTICA "AMERICAN"
		It was thus no less surprising that the aircraft was rejected by the Regia Aeronautica, on the basis that the internal wing fuel tanks were too vulnerable and were not of the self-sealing type.
		As far as it concerns the embarked aircraft, in the Summer of 1943 two RE 2000 were on the battleship RN Roma, two on RN Vittorio Veneto and one on RN Littorio (later RN Italia).
		Then the aircraft was donated to the University of Palermo and rescued in a rather sorry state by the Italian Air Force on 1960.

		Light losses against the French gave the Italians a mistaken impression that their tactics and aircraft were highly effective.
		National pride and political prestige, rather than military necessity, led the Italian Dictator Mussolini to send a force of bombers and fighters to take part in the air battles against Great Britain.
		Little combat with British fighters took place over the British Isles but it did reveal the CR42's major weakness; its armament of two machine guns was no more than a First World War fighter and it was unable to inflict major damage on its opponents.

	Matchbox 1/72 Fiat CR.42 Falco
		The Fiat CR42, known as the "Falco" (falcon in English), was one of the last biplane fighters in the world, and first flew in 1938.
		From what I can see, the only rigging required was two cross wires on the outer struts of each wing, and control wires for the upper ailerons.
		I personally find the Italian mottled camouflage of this period to be one of the most attractive styles for painting models in.

		Frati is world renowned for his many aircraft designs, one of which is the impressive Siai-Marchetti SF260 - and of course, the subject of this article, it's predecessor, the Falco F8.
		The last 20 aircraft came out of the Laverda of Italy factory and that was it for the Falco for the time being.
		These were manufactured for Brian and for two other Falco builders, Fanie Hendricks of Standerton and Koen Plantinga of Edenvale, by a retired uncle of Brian who was in the engineering business and had retained, on retirement, some of the equipment he used in his business.

	Comando Supremo: FIAT CR.42 Falco
		The CR.42 was declared obsolete in 1945 and the remaining aircraft were purchased by AB Svensk Flygtjänst and used in post- war years as target-tug aircraft.
		The propaganda operation designed to have Italian aircraft operating against the RAF on the Channel was ill conceived and conducted and showed at full the defects and the approximation of the Regia Aeronautica.
		The career of the Falco thus ended, a sort of monument to a great plane, the last of its era, but also a monument to the inability of the Regia Aeronautica to develop in time a replacement for an aging aircraft representing an already obsolete formula.

		In fact it is likely that the aircraft he saw was not his opponent, but that of Flight Lieutenant Gaunce of 46 Squadron, who had seen a CR42 appear beside him whilst the rest of the 46 Squadron Hurricane pilots were still shooting at the bombers.

		The Falco was the last of its kind (bi-plane fighter) to be designed, built and flown operationaly.
		The fact that the CR.42 was even considered to be a match in upcoming battles was the fact that many pilots were convinced that the agile biplane had some operational advantages over even the most maneuverable of monoplane fighters.
		Export numbers of the CR.42 Falco are: Belgium 24, Hungary 68, and Sweden 72 (locally known as J 11's).

	The WWII Fighter Gun Debate: The Fighters
		To summarize: Fired weight per second is given as an approximation of the chemical energy that can be transferred to the target, muzzle power as a measure of the kinetic energy, and the number of rounds fired indicates the spreading of this transfer over a number of hits.
		All three are factors that must be considered in a consideration of the firepower installed in an aircraft.
		The Soviets calculated that on average 31 rounds were fired to down an aircraft, compared with 147 rounds for the 20mm cannon.

		Using any of the traditional aircraft materials – aluminum, wood, steel tubing, dope and fabric – a homebuilder can produce a structure of high quality and consistency.
		Wood is still one of the very best materials for aircraft construction, and it’s the material of choice for competition aerobatic planes, which need wood’s strength and freedom from fatigue.
