Following my visit to Espace Air Passion in Angers, I reached back to museum founder Christian Ravel who still runs their archives and he confirmed that they *do* offer complete plans for the little Pipistrelle parasol by Maurice Brochet. Cost is €100 by bank transfer or PayPal and you receive a download link. I got mine and they are 68 lovely pages though of course hand-drawn and in French.
Different nose lengths and styles are shown to accommodate engines 25-50 HP and 40-70 kg with an assumed pilot weight of 74 kg + 6 kg parachute. I I think it could work with a heavier pilot by pushing a light engine like a Verner 3 forward on a long engine mount or a 1600cc VW on a short one. Visit
