The historic FP-202 Koala SINGLE-seater, and the rare Super Koala TWO-seater, are two VERY different aircraft -- in size/scale, performance, power requirements and legal operating requirements (the FP-202 was designed as an ultralight aircraft, within the legal limits of FAR Part 103, and thus flyable without a license; not so the Super Koala, which requires a license, and operates under very different legal restrictions -- with much higher loads and performance, and power.
Lumping the two of these together would be like combining the two separate articles for the Cessna 140, and the Cessna 170 that evolved from it, into one article.
It is not the best use of Wikipedia to publish the specifications of the rare and insignificant model, and not the specifications of the historic and abundant model. Moreover, it's a bit bizaare to have photos of one, and specifications of the other -- a source of inadequate information on both sides.
I urge the relevant editor(s) to split this into two complete articles -- or, at the very least, include the conspicuously different specifications of the historically important single-seat FP-202 Koala.
