Ford Focus Forum

It's a modified Lazair, formerly available from Ultraflight Sales
in Port Colborne, Ontario, Canada.

I still own the smaller and somewhat underpowered single-place
open cockpit version, but don't fly it where I now live since its two 9.5
hp single-cylinder Rotax industrial engines don't quite hack it at my
9100-foot field elevation.

Construction is aluminum D-tube with foam ribs, covering either
fabric or various clear plastics (old ones used Mylar, later ones use
Tedlar, which can be painted). Even with low power flying qualities are
lovely, and it soars quite nicely. Original design was based on a Klaus
Hill effort called the Super Floater which currently seems to be enjoying
something of a renaissance.

Note that a number of the less plausible exploits in the film were
performed by an RC model.
