Designing MacFam Cavalier aircraft conducted by an international team of engineers based on the model of the old French post-war aircraft, at the same time, aircraft manufacturers have managed not only to develop a fundamentally new design of the aircraft, but also greatly enhance its flight performance, while not affecting a large extent the cost of the aircraft.

MacFam Cavalier Aircraft made its first flight in 1963 year, and after a few months of the establishment of production, was launched in serial production, where he was for several years, releasing as individual kits for self-assembly, and the already fully assembled.

The cabin of the aircraft MacFam Cavalier is designed for two people at the same time, in addition to the normal air travel aircraft can also be used for the training of future pilots, as well as for the transport of small loads weighing up to a total 309 kilos (including self-weight of the pilot and passenger). Despite the fact that the plane has paired controls. The aircraft did not become popular in the aviation schools, in relation to what it has been discontinued its production, as private customers buying plane rather weak due to low passenger capacity characteristics.

Depending on the wishes of the customer, the aircraft MacFam Cavalier could equip piston engines of various capacities ranging from 85 hp and ending power plants with capacity up to 135 hp, which allows more convenient to combine the flight performance of the aircraft to its actual value. Depending on the installed power plant, the aircraft could reach speeds in 386 km \ h., And travel distances of up to 1200 kilometers, which was very reasonable, especially considering the relatively low price of the aircraft.
