About the F.8L Falco

The Sequoia Aircraft F.8L Falco is an Italian-designed fixed-wing aircraft configured for general aviation and private use. It is built as a lightweight two-seater with a single engine and full aerobatic capability, well-suited for pilots seeking responsive handling and classic performance. The layout relies on traditional materials featuring a spruce structure and a birch plywood skin.

Stelio Frati originally designed the aircraft, which first took to the air in the mid-fifties. Early production was handled by various Italian firms before the rights were acquired by an American company to be sold in kit and plans form for amateur construction. Reviewers often praise its remarkable speed and weight characteristics, while enthusiasts frequently celebrate its aesthetic appeal and handling qualities.
