About the Coyote II

The Coyote II is an American ultralight and experimental light-sport aircraft designed for recreational flying under FAR Part 103 regulations. Built by Coyote Aircraft of Boise, Idaho, this single-seat, high-wing design emerged in the 1980s as a simple, affordable entry point into powered flight. The aircraft features a tube-and-fabric construction with a pusher-configuration engine mounted behind the pilot, offering excellent visibility and straightforward handling characteristics that appeal to sport pilots and ultralight enthusiasts.

With a maximum takeoff weight around 550 pounds and powered by a small two-stroke engine producing roughly 28-40 horsepower, the Coyote II operates at the lower end of the performance spectrum but delivers genuine flight capability within strict ultralight weight limits. Its cruise speed typically ranges from 45 to 55 knots, with a never-exceed speed of 87 knots and a remarkably low stall speed around 28 knots in landing configuration. The design prioritizes slow-speed handling and short-field performance over cross-country capability, making it well-suited for local recreational flying from small grass strips and private fields.

The Coyote II remains popular in the experimental and ultralight communities due to its relatively simple construction, low operating costs, and forgiving flight characteristics. Many examples are owner-built from plans or kits, contributing to a diverse fleet with individual variations in engine choice, instrumentation, and detail refinements. SkyMeter has tracked flights across airframes and operators, with the largest observed operator.
