The Aerolab LoCamp is an Italian amateur-built aircraft, designed and originally produced by Aerolab SRL of Gallarate. The aircraft is supplied as a kit for amateur construction, although the company plans to also certify the aircraft to JAR-VLA as well as produce a light-sport aircraft category version. [1] [2] [3]
The LoCamp design is now produced by one of Aerolab's original dealers, Golden Age Aeroworks, LLC of Richland Center, Wisconsin, United States. [4]
The LoCamp is intended to resemble a 1930s style light aircraft. It features a cantilever low-wing, a two-seats-in-tandem open cockpit with polycarbonate windscreens, fixed conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration. [1] [2] [5]
The aircraft fuselage is made from welded steel tubing, with the wing built from wood or optionally aluminium sheet and its flying surfaces covered in doped aircraft fabric. Its 9.10 m (29.9 ft) span wing employs a NACA 4416 airfoil, has an area of 13.5 m2 (145 sq ft) and mounts flaps. The standard engine available is the 110 hp (82 kW) Rotec R2800 four-stroke radial engine, although the 65 hp (48 kW) Walter Mikron MIIIC was under evaluation by the manufacturer. [1] [2] [5]
In 2015 the manufacturer was considering producing a fully assembled special light-sport aircraft version. [2]
