The parts count seems really high but it'd mostly be "snap together" construction. Even the lattice would be "drop of glue, hit it with a Home Depot electric brad gun and trim off the extra with a Zona saw".
It's a mix of several ideas that I've been playing with for a while: CE-II fuselage, RouterMax wing, VP-21HWC tail feathers. When I see all the parts in one airplane I kind of like it.
Obviously the rudder and stab are inspired by the Volksplane. 1/2" EPS foam with a layer of fiberglass or CF on each side, cut on a CNC machine. CF tube spars and Kevlar/CF leading edge. Built on a EPS jig also cut out on a CNC machine.
Maybe even a CF "X Spar" wing with EPS ribs (same as rudder above)
The flaperons could use either a scissor jack or the regular Rube Goldberg bellcrank system.
I've got some Doug Fir and a couple of sheets of A/C ply burning a hole in my pocket, ...humm
onder:, maybe this would be a good use for it.
