Fleet Canuck flew its first flight at 1945 a year, and after a number of technical improvements that Canadian specialists had been working on for several months, the model went into mass production, where it stayed until 1958. Nevertheless, in the middle of the 90-ies of the last century, the production of the aircraft was restored, however, the interest in it fell quite enough - for 20 years only 27 aircraft were built, while the production of this model is currently being handled by other aircraft manufacturers Companies, mainly, leading the production of sets for self-assembly, which in turn reduces the total cost of this aircraft.
