Mignet HM-293 Adam Version
Claude Adam's "pou" HM-293 59-QY
Claude Adam from Thuin wanted to improve the design of the Pou-du-Ciel HM-293.
He designed a new composite bodied fuselage by lowering the nose and the pilot’s position was now much more comfortable. Combined with a tricycle undercarriage, it looks now very modern.
The first flight happened on may 1st 1999 and the mold was lend free to others builders. At least, two others were built or begun.
