Is there glass on the inside of the fuselage? If not, the foam isn't a core, it's a form. What is the design?

Thanks PPP but I'd rather have the most current plans.

Can you post a photo or two of what you have?

I'm looking (still) for a complete set of ULF-1 plans. If anyone has a set that they've decided they're not going to use, let me know.

Touché.

When did it become okay to ask strangers for money on the internet? It's just digital panhandling.

How are you getting the wing attach fitting loads into the spar caps? What about the uprights that the wing attaches to? Will that handle the higher gross? In a gust? What about the fuselage structure under your butt, which is literally hanging from the uprights to which the wing is...

It seems that the Skypup already fits your mission parameters. Since your design seems to be morphing into a pup, I don't get the point. Is this something that is actually going to be built or is it mental masturbation?

Nah, it'll be fine. I wonder how often "That looks about right" are the second to last words.

All ultralights, by design, are fair weather fliers.

More and more common lately.

No need. The plane is designed to +6, -3 as is.

Hmmm. Build a successful design by a real engineer, or, "fix" the mostly imaginary "issues" using an analysis from some guy on facebook? Maybe ask Roger Ford, Dan Grunloh or Mat Hivonich about the Skypup's supposed "inability" to handle crosswinds. Combined, there is about 60 years of flying...

Based upon his design, I doubt there will be much in the way of vertical component to any impact that may occur.
