Interesting facts about the Fournier RF 6
✈ René Fournier designed the RF 6 as a capable two seat trainer that could also handle touring and sport flying.
✈ The aircraft first flew on 12 March 1974 and it led directly to the later Slingsby T67 Firefly family.
✈ Fournier built early examples at Nitray near Tours in France before the programme later moved to Slingsby in the UK.
✈ The main early production model was the RF-6B powered by a Continental O-200 engine rated at 100 hp.
✈ A higher power RF-6B/120 variant used a Lycoming O-235 engine and it served as the basis for early Slingsby built aircraft.
✈ The RF 6 design used a high aspect ratio wing that reflected Fournier’s earlier motor glider work and it supports efficient handling in normal flight.
✈ Military operators used later developments of the design for basic training, which makes provenance and usage history important when evaluating fatigue life.
✈ A four seat RF-6C development appeared but it did not proceed as a straightforward production type, later work evolved into the Sportavia RS-180 line.
Model Variants for buyers to consider when purchasing a Fournier RF 6
Recognised Fournier RF 6 variants include the RF-6B as the main production series and the RF-6B/120 as a higher power development, plus the RF-6C four seat derivative that later fed into the Sportavia RS-180 programme. These differences matter to buyers because engine choice influences operating costs, parts support and performance, while the RF-6C sits in a different lineage with different support considerations. Many aircraft you will see marketed today may also appear under the Slingsby T67 name which reflects later production and development rights rather than a separate design intent.
