About the Druine D.11 Condor

The Druine D.11 Condor is a French single-seat homebuilt aircraft designed by Roger Druine in the early 1950s, representing one of the most successful amateur-built designs of the post-war era. With its distinctive parasol-wing configuration and wooden construction, the Condor became popular across Europe and the Commonwealth for its docile handling, economical operation, and straightforward build process that appealed to the growing homebuilder movement of the 1950s and 1960s. Powered by a modest Continental or similar flat-four engine producing 65 to 90 horsepower, the Condor cruises at around 90 knots and offers a range of approximately 300 nautical miles, making it ideal for local recreational flying and cross-country touring on a budget.

The type's light wing loading and generous control surfaces give it excellent slow-flight characteristics, with a stall speed below 40 knots in landing configuration, though pilots must respect its relatively low never-exceed speed of 130 knots. Many examples remain active in the UK, New Zealand, and France, where dedicated owners maintain these vintage machines as flying links to the golden age of amateur aviation.
