Microleve Corsario

The Microleve Corsario (Corsair) is a Brazilian amphibious ultralight flying boat that was designed and produced by Microleve of Rio de Janeiro. The aircraft was supplied as a kit for amateur construction.

The company appears to be out of business and the aircraft no longer available.

Design and development
The Corsario complies with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules. It features a strut-braced parasol wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit, retractable conventional landing gear and a single engine in pusher configuration. The landing gear is manually retracted.

The aircraft fuselage and hull are made from composites. The Mark 5 version of the Corsario offered two alternative wings. An all-composite wing of 10.3 m span could be ordered with two 25 L fuel tanks fitted behind the seats in the fuselage or an aluminum tubing and aircraft fabric wing of similar span was available with two 35 L wing mounted fuel tanks. Standard engines available from the factory were the 64 hp Rotax 582 or 74 hp Rotax 618 two-strokes or the 80 hp Rotax 912UL four-stroke powerplant.
