| A later and larger successor to the D.31 Turbulent of 1951, the D.62 Condor was similarly a low-wing, wooden-framed monoplane available as a licence built product or as a home build from plans. The D.62 was, like the D.31, built under licence by Rollason in the UK from 1961. Variants include versions converted for glider towing.

Hello Andy,
I was well acquainted with your Condor back in the 1970s when it was with the Stapleford Flying Club in Essex. My first flight was on the 23 /9 /70, just after passing my GFT. The last flight was a return trip from an Airshow at Old Warden on 27 /5 /74. I still have a photograph of it parked with the other visitors. Glad to know it is still going strong.
Best regards,

They regularly come up for sale here in UK. reply | | Mike Ferreira, e-mail, 09.11.2014 06:28 Hi There Very nice plane.Like sraight wing and tail config.Are plans available for this plane. Regards reply | | Andy Chadwck, e-mail, 28.01.2014 06:50 I have owned G-AYFC since 2001, the aircraft is modified and has the same agile handling characteristics of the breed. Though it doesn't have the range of a Jodel (condors were designed for the circuit) it will cruise at 90kts and fly for a safe 3hrs. Which makes it a reasonable tourer for those with a normal bladder! FC displays in Europe and the UK. reply | |
| | Dave Harvey, e-mail, 16.11.2013 16:30 Learned to fly in it at Fair oaks airodrome in the UK, 1972. Really a nice airplane for training. Very forgiving - and I needed forgiving! Very stable upright spinner. Brit pilots had to learn to spin and unspin in those days. reply |
