I'm trying to design my "hopefully it'll get off of the ground" airplane. It should have an empty weight of about 125-175 lbs. max. What's just about the smallest engine i could reasonably use and take off in a pretty short distance. This plane is not going to be used for much except for flying for fun, so i don't need great performance, also what is the simplest and cheapest form of wing construction?
Thanks
