I will talk about my composite planes in this dedicated thread.
First project : EXIA, completed and flying well for almost 2 years (70h)
- single seat, under french UL regulation
- wing span 8,2 m
- lenght 5,15 m
- empty weight 130 kg
- MTOW 210 kg
- engine AIXRO XF 40, wankel type, 35hp, consumption 9l/h at 70% power
- tanks in the wings 36l total (wet wings)
- glass sandwich skins with some carbon parts (spars), made in typical composite molds
- special equipements : ballistic parachute (GRS)
Current performance (to be improved with adapted prop that I built but cannot test due to flight bans with COVID19 in France...) :
- Stall speed 65km/h (tested)
- Cruise 180 km/h (real, tested in long cross country flights)
- Top speed 205 km/h
