The HB Flugtechnik HB-207 Alfa is an Austrian two-seat light training and touring monoplane designed and built by HB Flugtechnik and was made available as a kit for homebuilding.[1]

Design and development

The Alfa is a low-wing monoplane powered by a 110 hp (82 kW) VW-Porsche HB-2400 G/2 flat-four engine driving a five-bladed variable-pitch propeller.[1] It was designed to take a number of different engines and to use two, three or five-bladed propellers. The Alfa has room for two in side-by-side seats in an enclosed cockpit with a sliding canopy for entry.[1]

The first aircraft to fly was a retractable tricycle landing gear variant, the HB-207RG. on 14 March 1995.[1]
