The Falconar AMF-S14 Maranda is a two-seat, light aircraft first flown in Canada in 1961 and originally marketed for amateur construction by Falconar Avia.^[1]

Since the winding up of business by Falconar Avia in 2019, the plans are now sold by Manna Aviation.^[2]

Based on the Adam RA-14 Loisirs, it is a conventional high-wing strut-braced monoplane with fixed, tailwheel undercarriage. The fuselage is wood construction with fabric covering with a folding wing.^[3] The pilot and single passenger sit side-by-side in a fully enclosed cabin. One example has been built as a floatplane with fiberglass covered wooden floats using Falconar plans.^[4][5] The airfoil employed is a NACA 23012.^[6]

Acceptable installed engine power ranges from 85 to 150 hp (63 to 112 kW).^[7]
