The '''HB-Flugtechnik HB-208 Amigo''' ({{lang-en|Friend}}) is an Austrian ultralight aircraft that was designed by Heino Brditschka and produced by HB-Flugtechnik of Ansfelden. The aircraft is supplied as a kit for [[Engineering:Homebuilt aircraft|amateur construction]] or as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft.<ref name="WDLA11">Bayerl, Robby; Martin Berkemeier; et al: ''World Directory of Leisure Aviation 2011-12'', page 58. WDLA UK, Lancaster UK, 2011. ISSN 1368-485X</ref><ref name="WDLA15">Tacke, Willi; Marino Boric; et al: ''World Directory of Light Aviation 2015-16'', page 60. Flying Pages Europe SARL, 2015. {{ISSN|1368-485X}}</ref>

The design was the company's first microlight and led to further work in that field.<ref name="WDLA15"/>

==Design and development==
The aircraft was designed to comply with the [[Organization:Fédération Aéronautique Internationale|Fédération Aéronautique Internationale]] microlight rules and amateur-built rules. It features a strut-braced high-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit, fixed [[Engineering:Tricycle landing gear|tricycle landing gear]] and a single engine in [[Engineering:Tractor configuration|tractor configuration]].<ref name="WDLA11" /><ref name="WDLA15"/>

The [[Engineering:Fuselage|fuselage]] is made from welded steel tubing, the wing built from wood with its flying surfaces covered in [[Engineering:Aircraft dope|doped]] aircraft fabric. Its {{convert|9.0|m|ft|1|abbr=on}} span wing has an area of {{convert|12.6|m2|sqft|abbr=on}} and uses 45° [[Biography:Claude Dornier|Dornier]] wingtips. Standard engines are the {{convert|80|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} Rotax 912UL and the {{convert|100|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} Rotax 912ULS four-stroke powerplants. The ultralight version has a maximum gross weight of {{convert|450|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}}, whereas the amateur-built version has a maximum gross weight of {{convert|520|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}}.<ref name="WDLA11" /><ref name="WDLA15"/>
