Here's a sure formula
for a winning airplane. Take one or more parts from an already proven
design, add a few parts for creature comfort and/or customer preferences,
mix together with a solid team and you have a sure-fire winner!
A wrap-around windshield
of Lexan makes for excellent visibility and comfortable flying. Optional
windows are removable for open-air flying in the summer. For power we
recommend a Rotax 447, or any engine up to 45 hp.
Wood was chosen as
the basic building material. It is easy to work with, dependable in its
strength characteristics, and is not bothered by the vibrations associated
with 2-cycle engines.
Construction techniques
are of the old-fashioned, tried and true wood truss and plywood gusset
method. It is very simple, and builds quickly.
If you have ever built
a balsa-wood model airplane, you have the experience required to build
this "full-scale" model! While construction time will vary from
builder to builder, approximately 300 hours is the average.
