The design was adopted in the US in the 1980s and converted to kit form and was sold in kit or plans form for amateur
construction by the Sequoia Aircraft Company of Richmond, Virginia until 2014 which closed its doors late 2014 but still
continues to operate its website.
The aircraft is single-engined, propeller driven and designed for private and general aviation.
With a good turn of speed, the Falco is widely considered to be one of the best handling, strongest, and most aesthetically
pleasing designs ever made available to home builders.
The Sequoia Falco F8L is constructed of spruce and typically Finnish birch plywood. The structure is built from laminated
spruce bulkheads and the birch plywood is used for the skin. The plywood is often softened with hot steam, formed over the
various structures and glued in place. The aircraft is rated for 6g positive and 3g negative.
