The Isaacs Fury is a British homebuilt sporting biplane designed by John Isaacs as a seven-tenths scale replica of the Hawker Fury fighter.
Using the Currie Wot construction methods as a basis, John Issacs designed a single-seat wood and fabric sporting biplane for homebuilders.[1] It was a seven-tenths replica of the 1935 Hawker Fury biplane fighter.[1] It was a single-bay biplane with a fixed tailskid landing gear and powered by a 65hp Walter Mikron III piston engine in the nose with a two-bladed propeller.[1] It has a single-seat open cockpit just aft of the wing.[1] The prototype (G-ASCM) built by the designer between 1961 and 1963 at Southampton, England it first flew from Thruxton Aerodrome on the 30 August 1963.[1]
Between 1966 and 1967 the aircraft was re-engined with a 125hp Lycoming O-290-D engine and first flown as the Fury Mk 2 in May 1967.[1] The design was made available to amateur constructors.[1]
