A widely used ultralight aircraft is the Ikarus Fox II / C-22. Comco developed the Fox II as the
successor of the popular Ikarus Sherpa ultralight aeroplane. Production of the improved 2-seat Fox II
by Comco Ikarus GmbH in Mengen, Germany started in 1984. In 1987, was the Fox II replaced in production
by the C22. Over 1000 Fox II / C22 planes are already built and the ultralight is exported to almost
every European country, Asia, the Near East and South-America. The Ikarus C22 is offered for sale in
three models: C22 C, C22 CS and Aero. The CS model has a three-blade propeller, covered engine and a
stainless steel exhaust system. The Aero is the model in the C 22 series that has a glass-fibre fuselage
closed cockpit-cubicle with doors on both sides.
The 1989-built Comco-Ikarus C22 c/n 8903-3192 was registered PH-1W5 on 3 April 1989.
The aircaft is powered by a Rotax 582 UL engine. Comco-Ikarus C22 PH-1W5 was photographed
at the ULM-aerodrome Stadskanaal in Vledderveen, the Netherlands.
