Fieseler Fi 5
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fieseler F5 (Fi-5 was a secondary later designation) was a single-engined two-seat sportplane of the 1930's. Produced by the German aircraft manufacturer Fieseler Flugzeugbau, which was started by the World War I fighter ace and German aerobatic star, Gerhard Fieseler. Gerhard worked at the company full-time after winning the first World Aeronautics Competition (Championship) of 1934 in his Fieseler F2 Tiger, having previously won the 1932 European Aerobatic Championship, and the F5 was among the companies earliest big sellers. The F5 was powered by the Hirth HM60 engine. It competed with the Klemm 25, but with the F5's shorter wings and different handling that experienced pilots preferred, it became quite popular.
