The aircraft is out of production and no longer available.
Design and development
The Fergy was developed from the Kolb Mark III and introduced to the market in 1991. Reviewer Andre Cliche describes it as a "clone", whilst Noel Bertrand et al. claim it was "inspired by the Kolb Twinstar". The aircraft differs from the Kolb design in that it has a revised cockpit pod, with centerline-hinged doors and a square-tipped rudder. The horizontal stabilizer was also raised a few inches to give better ground clearance.
The aircraft is constructed from aluminium tubing, covered with aircraft fabric. The wings fold for storage or trailering. The standard engine supplied with the kit was the 50 hp Rotax 503, with the liquid-cooled 64 hp Rotax 582 optional, although the Fergie can accept engines that range in output from 50 to.
The average construction time from the kit was reported by the manufacturer as 350 hours and 40 had been completed by 2001.
Operational history
The Fergie won the Grand Champion title at Sun 'n Fun in 1991.
