There are three versions of the MCR01 approved in the UK. The original VLA, the CLUB which is also in the VLA cat and the ULC which is the micro. 100’s of ULC’s flying around the world, with many in France. If you do not want a France one you can use G-INFO to contact the UK owners. All are looked after by the LAA. I fly a Club and help with the UK owners group. One word of warning – the Banbi is actuly an MC100 which is not approved in the UK but is in Europe. If you ask for a Banbi in France you will end up with the wrong aircraft – a plan built all metal predecessor to the MCR01.

All MCR01 aircraft can be quickly de-rigged but no wing fold. The ex UK distributer Jerry Davis kept his in a trailer and riged it / de-riged it as required. There is a video on the web of him doing this!
