Bagalini Colombo

The Bagalini Colombo (Dove) is an Italian homebuilt aircraft that was designed by Marino Bagalini. The aircraft is supplied in the form of plans for amateur construction.

Design and development
The Colombo features a strut-braced parasol wing, a two-seats in side-by-side configuration open cockpit with a windshield, fixed conventional landing gear, or optional tricycle landing gear, and a single engine in tractor configuration.

The aircraft is made from wood and metal, with its flying surfaces covered in doped aircraft fabric. Its 10.5 m span wing employs an RSG 35 airfoil at the wing root, transitioning to an RSG 36 airfoil at the wing tip. The wing mounts Junkers ailerons and has a wing area of 16.723 m2. The standard engine used is the 40 hp Rotax 447 two-stroke powerplant.

The Colombo has an empty weight of 150 kg and a gross weight of 320 kg, giving a useful load of 170 kg. With full fuel of 23 L the payload is 151 kg.

The manufacturer estimates construction time from the supplied kit to be 700 hours.
