Flying a timeless European LEGEND - The Robin DR401: Better than ever.

Robin Aircraft is a french general aviation airplane manufacturer with a big history. The DR401 is the companies best-selling plane, its design has been around since the 1970s. Until today Robin’s planes are traditionally made from wood, which sets the company apart from almost all the others in the market. In this video I will fly a current model of the DR401 and find out about its weaknesses and strengths. BIG Thanks to Michael, the flight instructor in this film. The plane is owned by the traditional flying club “Motorfluggruppe Basel“ in Bale. Find out more on the club here: *** Want to know more about the history of Robin aircraft?
