HB-Flugtechnik Amigo

The HB-Flugtechnik HB-208 Amigo (Friend) is an Austrian ultralight aircraft that was designed by Heino Brditschka and produced by HB-Flugtechnik of Ansfelden. The aircraft is supplied as a kit for amateur construction or as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft.

The design was the company's first microlight and led to further work in that field.

Design and development
The aircraft was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules and amateur-built rules. It features a strut-braced high-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit, fixed tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.

The fuselage is made from welded steel tubing, the wing built from wood with its flying surfaces covered in doped aircraft fabric. Its 9.0 m span wing has an area of 12.6 m2 and uses 45° Dornier wingtips. Standard engines are the 80 hp Rotax 912UL and the 100 hp Rotax 912ULS four-stroke powerplants. The ultralight version has a maximum gross weight of 450 kg, whereas the amateur-built version has a maximum gross weight of 520 kg.

As of February 2024, the type is no longer mentioned on the company website, indicating termination of production.
