Hi again

sorry for "spamming", but this might be a good challenge for all of you:

Designing the lightest possible aircraft using my parameters, like:
Motorglider-ish and based on a Pietenpol Sky Scout.
A slightly longer takeoff run is okay.
Minimum possible HP (lightness considered)
As cheap and as DIY as possible
Performance like a Pietenpol
Open cockpit
Nanolite category is preferrable
Rag-and-tube construction
Average handyman buildable


This is my first design: 1970795_664774386925625_9034680102802466071_n.jpg (more pics coming soon)

What should i improve on it?
