ROMIBUTTER OO-504
The OO-504 registered ultralight was at first a Butterfly.
It was modified with a completely new wooden fuselage by Michel Rocourt hence the name ROMIBUTTER.
Keeping the Butterfly wings and tail, it was registered again OO-504 on 3/2/1987.
The new engine fitted is a Rotax 277 driven first a 2-blades wooden propeller, then a 3-blades fiber propeller.
At its first RSA Rally held at Brienne-le-Château in 1987, it won the Coupe Allard du souvenir Henri Mignet and flew to many airshows during its flying life.
It is a unique ultralight and one of the oldest preserved belgian ultralight.
Its concept inspired the french Bifly from Lascaud who even used it for his first advertisements !
