Hi all,
in the picture you see a Soviet ultralight, the Phoenix M-5. Little more is to find in the net. And googling for “Phoenix” you can imagine to get a lot of hits for other aircraft, but not for this particular one.
Especially, I would be pleased if someone would know manufacturer or constructor.
Thank you for every answer!
Regards, RT

Hi MM,
noticed: 1991, posting in homebuiltairplanes.com: 2011, my request: 2021. Only hope is to question that person whom you quoted for the name of the “professional aerospace engineer”. But there is little hope that he is still active.
Thank you very much, like always, and regards,

Can’t find a huge amount about the M-5, RT. As you say there are an awful lot of Phoenixes out there! There is a mention of it here though – https://www.homebuiltairplanes.com/forums/threads/my-130-pounder-twin-e…
I’ll quote it as the info is within quite a lengthy discussion –
M-5 was built in late 80-s by a professional aerospace engineer who worked at an airplane factory in Russia. There were no drawings released, there was only 1 M-5 ever built. I saw it in person once in 1991. It was an impressive little airplane. It is impossible to market it now, unfortunately.
It had two x 25hp engines.
