Garaix, L
At the end of the summer of 1910 in Montelimard in southeastern France, an L Garaix was reported to have built a monoplane, first towed by a car and later fitted with an engine driving a tractor L Garaix propeller. The control device for lateral stability was fastened to the pilot's back; the wings had a slight dihedral. L Garaix may have been some relation to Victor Garaix.
(Span: 8 m; length: 5.6 m; propeller diameter: 1.2 m; 8-10 hp motor weighing 70 kg)
A 1911 postcard photo shows a biplane under construction; the text on the back describes a visit to L Garaix' workshops with the biplane under construction!
