Wolfgang Dallach's Sunrise, marketed in kit form by his WD Flugzeug Leichtbau (WDFL), was his first ultralight design. Though usually built with a single-seat open cockpit over the wing, it could also be configured as a tandem two seater, the extra cockpit ahead of the first. The Sunrise is constructed from wood (??) and is fabric covered. The Sunrise has a fixed tailwheel undercarriage, with the mainwheels hinged from the fuselage on V-form, cross-connected struts. Some Sunrises have wheel fairings.[1]
The Sunrise can be powered by one of several engines in the 28-66 kW (38-90 hp) power range.[2]
About 39 Sunrises are thought to have been built, all flying in Germany.[1] In mid-2010, 19 years after kit production ended, 38 still appeared in mid-2010 on the German civil register.[3]
