Comet #4 - re-built and going strong

Comet #4 was built from a factory supplied kit and had its first flight in June 1998 painted in a distinctive blue/yellow "USAAC" type colour scheme with the registration D-MOJE.  

 

 D-MOJE seen in 2009

Over the years the aircraft has had a number of owners, including one who flew over 1,000 flight hours himself in D-MOJE. The aircraft has recently been re-built and now features a double canopy, strengthened undercarriage and a towing hook with a new white/blue colour scheme. D-MOJE is currently based in the Bavaria region of Germany and has flown over 1,950 flight hours in over 3,000 flights. Thanks to Hans P for this update.  

D-MOJE seen in 2021

FK-12 Comet D-MYTB

Seen at Gelnhausen, Germany in summer 2017 was a yellow and blue Comet registered as D-MYTB - this is a "new" registration for this FK-12 Comet blog.






Looking at the photo of D-MYTB it appears this aircraft appears is very similar to Comet D-MYLG ( Werk 010 )  - I understand it was re-registered during 2017.

Thanks to Alan and Robert for this update.

This Comet has now been bought by Denis and will be based at Biarritz ( LFBZ ) in the south of France with the French Dept registration 67-AAT with radio callsign F-JZPE.

Happy Flying

New Comets - Two new Comets for USA coming soon

Hansen Air Group have confirmed that their two new FK-12 Comets are now ready for shipping from Europe - if all goes well they are due in the USA by the end of February 2012 - great news




The two new Comets are shown here in the snow at Krosno, Poland about to be loaded for shipment to the USA.


These two aircraft will be fitted with the brand new Lycoming AEIO-233 engine ( rather than the normal Rotax 912 ) - the new engine will be installed by Renegade Light Sport - this will allow the FK-12 Comet to operate as an aerobatic Light Sports Aircraft ( LSA ) in the US.


UPDATE - 19.2.2012 - these two new Comets have arrived at docks on the East Coast of the US - now they will travel down to Renegade Light Sport for the fitting of their new Lycoming engines.

Aerobatic Comet - Flying Upside down in Italy




I want to thank Fausto in Italy for sending me some photos he has taken showing the view from his FK-12 Comet cockpit - Fausto has successfully modified his Rotax engine to allow aerobatic inverted flying - so far he has flown over 30 hours with this modification.

Congratulations - Enjoy your Comet
