About the Fournier RF5 with recent 2400 Limbach engine conversion
The Fournier RF-5 is an elegant two-seat wooden motorglider — a sleek low-wing design (many built by Sportavia) that flies economically under power and soars gently with the engine back. Beautiful to handle and inexpensive to run, it offers pure, relaxed flying pleasure and gentle soaring for owners who appreciate classic wooden craftsmanship.
