Hallo
     My name is Ioan Coriolan Garboni, and I am president of ( FACT) Foundation Academic Cultural Timisoara. We constructed the replica of the Vuia I .
     This replica belongs to our organization, FACT. We tried to make it with the same parameters that Vuia had to his original one. This replica has a 25 HP. Rotax engine, and we still have problems with the reductor of speed at the propeller. Our replica was in Montesson in 2006 and also we had a circuit in Romanian cities and European cities.
      For more information, you can contact me at my address, fact@xnet.com, or visit our webpage, Foundation Academic Cultural Timisoara
Sincerely yours
Ioan Coriolan Garboni
 
 
Vuia Replica - Additional Remarks
     'I am not sure, but the replica might be the one that used to be on display on Otopeni, (renamed Henri Coanda), airport, next to a replica of the Vlaicu II airplane.
      Last year, 2006, was the centennial of Vuia's first flight, and the replica was taken on an itinerary exposition throughout Romania and abroad."
