Howdy, I would like to impose on you if I may, if not, I guess I won't get a reply.
I have been wanting to build and fly a very slow flying STOL aircraft and I am having a horrible time deciding what to build. For years I have looked at the claims of many of the kits and plans offered for sale. I have a few different sets of plans but have yet to see anything I am willing to start.
I would like a tube and fabric structure with no wood. Aluminim or foam ribs with a tube main spar much like the Texas Parasol design. I would not be completely agains an all metal like Chris Heintz's 701 but not convinced it is the only one out there. I would rather spend money on materials and tools than on purchasing several more sets of plans weeding things out.
Even though it appears that you fly sailplanes, I ventured to trouble you anyway. If you have an suggestions or input, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time and efforts on this forum. Kurt
