Comment:
A powered self-launching derivative of the
widely used LET L 13 Blanik, the Vivat uses a
rear fuselage and wings very similar to the L
13. The wings do not, however, incorporate the
flaps of the L 13, but retain the DFS type
airbrakes. The center section and cockpit area
are widened to make room for the two-place side-
by-side seats. The main wheel is retractable,
and the wingtip outrigger wheels fold back at
the same time. The tail wheel is steerable,
being linked to the rudder circuit. It can also
be unlocked and be fully castoring outside the
normal rudder-linked range. The Vivat is offered
with a choice of engines, the SHE with the Czech
Walter mikron, matched to a three position
Hoffmann propeller, and the SL with a German
Limbach fitted with a Muhlbauer electrically
operated constant speed feathering propeller.
The engine compartment is fitted with cooling
shutters which can be closed to reduce drag when
the engine is off. Both models are offered with
a two wheel non-retractable landing gear as an
alternative to the single retractable wheel with
tip outriggers. |
