Been fiddling with an ultralight design, figured it's time to get a bit more serious...
Wing Calc. puts CG ~3/4 in ahead of the V.
Expect to use the 1/2 VW engine w/~32 in prop.
Wing calculation does not include the Junkers Control Surfaces.
Mechanical mix Flaperons, Leading edge Slats, 2 x 2 Aluminum Fuselage with welded reinforcement,.
Wing construction loosely based on the Chotia Woodhopper and Gypsy design, using Foam-filled Carbon Fiber Spars
and possibly Tensegrity ribs and reinforcement, with struts as necessary, perhaps vacuum-infused CF skins.
Initial design:
