The BINGO is an ultralight airplane STOL (short takeoff and landing) two-seater side by side, high-wing monoplane, with a tricycle carriage and full metal construction. Uses the same structure SAVANNAH which differs only in some small details and in the engines.

Bingo using an HKS 4-stroke engine is also a very good airplane for trips during which you can appreciate his great qualities of stability and economy.

This reproduction comes from my Savannah model which I changed interiorly an externally to reproduce the differences between the two aircraft. The model was released with two different colors as used by two different civilians operators , an Italian and a Spaniard.

The model has a working 3d panel and can be driven only by the Virtual cockpit, see the pictures, contained in the folder documents\$ Read_me which shows the panel in its current configuration.

The technical data and flight characteristics are derived from official data of the manufacturer.
