Aerosport SCAMP  A 

What made the Aerosport Scamp A unique was its simplicity and agility as it featured a high wing, bi-plane configuration, tricycle undercarriage and an open cockpit design, providing excellent visibility and a thrilling flying experience. 

​

First introduced in August 1973 by its designer, Harris Woods, its production continued for several decades with 1050 sets of plans being sold by 1993.

​

The aircraft's lightweight construction, compact size, coupled with its responsive controls, allowed for impressive manoeuvrability and aerobatic capabilities. It became a popular choice for pilots looking for an aircraft that was both fun to fly and relatively easy to build and maintain.

​

While the Scamp A was primarily used for recreational purposes and personal enjoyment, it also found applications in the realm of aerobatic competition and airshows.

​

Pilots who owned and flew the Scamp A often participated in aerobatic displays, showcasing the aircraft's impressive performance capabilities to enthusiastic crowds.

The Ulster Aviation Society's display of the Aerosport Scamp A in memory of Don Chisholm is a tribute to his legacy, passion and appreciation of its unique characteristics and flying capabilities.
