Houde Bimax

The Houde Bimax is a French ultralight aircraft, designed and produced by Patrice Houde, introduced at the Blois homebuilt aircraft fly-in in September 2010. The aircraft is supplied as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft.

Design and development

The Bimax was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules. It features a cantilever low-wing, a two-seats-in-tandem enclosed cockpit under a bubble canopy, fixed conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.
The aircraft is made from wood, with its flying surfaces covered in doped aircraft fabric. Its span wing is detachable for ground transportation and storage. Standard engines available are the Rotax 912UL and the Rotax 912ULS four-stroke powerplants.
