The Vidor Champion V is an Italian homebuilt aircraft that was designed by Giuseppe Vidor, first flying on 10 June 1995. The aircraft is supplied in the form of plans for amateur construction.^[1]^[2] It is also known as the Asso Aerei V Champion.

Design and development

The Champion V features a cantilever low-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit under a bubble canopy, fixed or optionally retractable tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.^[1]^[2]

The aircraft is made from wood, with its flying surfaces covered in doped aircraft fabric. Its {{convert|8.321|m|ft|1|abbr=on}} span wing mounts flaps and has a wing area of {{convert|11|m2|sqft|abbr=on}}. The wings are removable in about 15 minutes for ground transport or storage. The cabin width is {{convert|42|in|cm|abbr=on}}. The acceptable power range is {{convert|75|to|100|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} and the standard engine used is the {{convert|75|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} Volkswagen air-cooled engine four cylinder, air-cooled, four stroke automotive conversion powerplant.^[1]^[2]

The Champion V has a typical empty weight of {{convert|272|kg|lb|abbr=on}} and a gross weight of {{convert|480|kg|lb|1|abbr=on}}, giving a useful load of {{convert|208|kg|lb|abbr=on}}. With full fuel of {{convert|49|l}} the payload for the pilot, passenger and baggage is {{convert|173|kg|lb|abbr=on}}.^[1]

The manufacturer estimates the construction time from the supplied kit as 1500 hours.^[1]

Operational history

By 1998 the company reported that 15 kits had been sold and three aircraft were completed and flying.^[1]

In January 2014 one example was registered in the United States with the Federal Aviation Administration.^[3]
