Nieuport 12
Designed and prototyped in 1989 the 12 received , the test pilot’s comment was that:
“It’s a Cream Puff”. At Oshkosh ‘90, it took 3rd place in the light plane category.
The 12 is constructed of the same materials as the Nieuport 11 with the exception of the
main wing spars which are formed sheet. The 12 is a 2 place ideal for lazy afternoons
and first time airplane rides. It is very stable as the original, which was designed
to be a photo recon plane.
Recommended power plant is the ROTEC R2800 or Rotax 582. Construction is fabric covered
tube structure, pull riveted gussets and AN bolts. Plans are oriented to the experienced
builder with little instruction needed. Videos are available of Building procedures
