Filed under: Lucko Airshow, CA-10, P-3, Penkala

By far the biggest attraction of the 2010 Lucko Airshow was the CA-10 "Penkala", a modern replica of the Penkala P-3, the first aircraft built in Croatia :). Designed by famed inventor Slavoljub Penkala - the father of the fountain pen - the P-3 had attempted to take off in 1910, but never made it beyond a few hops due to some deficiencies in its design. Intending to set that right, the CA-10 was conceived as "modernized" P-3, upgraded using today's aerodynamic knowledge (and an 80 HP Rotax, with four times the power of the 24 HP radial that Penkala had used). Interestingly enough, the whole aircraft was built by hand using only archive photos as the original blueprints have long been lost. Unfortunately, due to its paperwork not being ready, it had not flown at the show, a huge source of disappointment for many... Photo © Boran Pivcic (TripleDelta)
