A favorite with Canadian pilots, this lightweight side-by-side two-seater can be fitted with wheels, floats, or skis. The sturdy all metal frame, covered with fabric, is powered by a Continental four-cylinder 85- or 90-hp engine (C-FDQM has been retrofitted and approved with a Continental 100 hp O-200). Most of the Fleet 80's flying today have been modified with improved heaters and cowling systems, updated Ceconite covering, and additional gyros and radios. Designed especially for Canadian flying conditions, the Canuck is still traded fairly regularly in Canada, and many Canadian pilots have received primary pilot training in this Fleet airplane.
