"Motorbike of the sky" edit

"La Moto du Ciel" means "The Motorbike of the Sky", not "Motorbike of the Sky". The article ("La" ie. "The") is intentionnaly part of the model name... 195.221.114.6 (talk) 12:15, 20 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Flying surfaces edit

The flying surfaces are not made of aluminium sheets but of painted Dracon canvas. The only wings leading edge are made of aluminium sheets covered with the Dracon canvas. 195.221.114.6 (talk) 12:30, 20 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Strut-braced high wings edit

Could precise "single strut-braced high wings". It is relatively rare, most 3-axis ultralight features double struts of wings... 195.221.114.6 (talk) 12:44, 20 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

open cockpit under a bubble canopy edit

" open cockpit under a bubble canopy" sounds weird. If there is a bubble canopy, then it is not open. The "Motorbike of the Sky" basic version has no bubble canopy but a simple large windshield, but can features a complete windshield and lateral doors for the closed cockpit version. 195.221.114.6 (talk) 12:52, 20 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
