Builder: Claude Rateau Location: Santa Maria, CA - USA Aircraft: American Aircraft, Inc. - Falcon XP Engine: Hirth - 3202 Prop: - Total Build Time: 217 Hours

The Falcon XP was kitted by American Aircraft of New Mexico in the 1980's. In May of 2009 I purchased the last unbuilt kit from Mike Fithian of Falcon East (aka: Aero Falcon).

This site is my attempt to document the journey as I work to build this rare, exceptional, airplane.
