I photographed this gorgeous FK14 Polaris traildragger in the early morning at Germany’s Aero 2005 airshow. Actually a “B” model, this newest Polaris has enhanced features including the distinctive winglets. Read my 1999 Pilot Report on FK9.
For years, FK Lightplanes has been a leading supplier in Europe. Designs are created by Otto and Peter Funk, the father and son team that introduced the FK9 Mark IV (all-round use and trainer design), the FK12 Comet (enclosed, folding biwing), and the elegant FK14 Polaris, a modern LSA candidate available in tricycle gear or taildragger. FK planes appointed Wings of Paradise their American representative. Based in south Florida at North Perry Airport (HWO), Wings of Paradise is a longtime ultralight dealer and provider of lessons on Miami area beaches. FK Lightplanes sells models like the FK14 Polaris in 51% kit form, fast-build form, and it is available ready-to-fly. Wings of Paradise is working with the German producer to meet SLSA standards; the design is certified under Germany’s Microlight rules. E-mail contact.
