Murphy Aircraft Manufacturing Limited is a Canadian maker of civil general aviation kits for amateur construction currently owned by China-headquartered Duofu Group.
During his recovery time he decided to design a biplane to fit into the then-new Canadian ultralight category.
Murphy displayed the Renegade at the EAA Convention, Oshkosh and returned to Chilliwack with a substantial order book.
Murphy Aircraft President Darryl Murphy also explained that the company will only manufacture kits in batches once sufficient numbers of orders have been accumulated to justify a production run and that standard aircraft hardware parts, like rivets and bolts would be shipped directly from the suppliers to customers to save costs.
Kit production was expected to resume later in 2023, with a reduced offering of only three designs, the Murphy Moose, Radical and Rebel.
