The Agilis has gone trough some modifications in the past few month, mainly the main landing gear, from a Van’s or Wittman style rod gear to a classic bungee suspended gear.

I got interessted at this bird at first up until I discovered that I touched with my head the upper structure, between the fwd and aft spar.

To overcome this problem I thought about a structure that would follow the wing curve, instead of the lower wing surface.

But I can’t calculate that, as I don’t have the knowledge for this kind of math.

and why all this fuss, I’m one of the taller breed, that do not fit many planes.
