Flight Design MC
The Flight Design MC is an early German ultralight that helped establish the company in the European light-aircraft market. Its composite structure, high wing, and Rotax engine delivered low operating costs for touring and training. Later CT models became better known, leaving the MC as an uncommon predecessor.
