Asso Aerei Srl (English: Ace Aircraft Limited) is an Italian designer of light and
ultralight aircraft founded by Giuseppe (Bepi) Vidor. Vidor (died 23 September 2013, aged 72) was a carpenter who studied engineering at night school,[1] and all his aircraft are wooden designs, most with
tricycle landing gear. The aircraft are
homebuilt from plans or from very basic kits. The name Vidor Asso is also used.
Aircraft
Asso I
Side-by-side 2-seat
taildragger built by Vidor based on the
Piel Super Emeraude – one built 1980. It is also known as RD 95, after Vidor's friend and advisor,
Robert Denize,[2] who had collaborated with
Claude Piel. Another, built by Vidor, first flew in 1984.[3]
Asso II
Four seater, also known as RD 30V, never flown because of the introduction of an Italian luxury tax based on aircraft weight.
Asso III
Ultralight to avoid the luxury tax, based on the Asso I, but much lighter. Many kits sold.
Asso IV Whisky
2-seat
tandem taildragger with fixed or retractable
maingear. (Also known as Aerostar?)
