Simple enough question ,and one posed by a guy so out of composites that I openly admit I don't know what I don't know. Still, it seems to me that if you're only going to build one of something then hot wiring out a set of flying surfaces and moldlessly building a fuselage should get you a pretty slippery airplane pretty quickly. Apart from Long-EZEs, Cozys, and Dragonflies (does anyone even build those anymore) there doesn't seem to be much going on in the field. What gives? Like I asked in the title, why aren't there more moldless composite planes?
