I thought about pulling it, it’s just two pins, but without a rear windscreen you have to really want it. That and open cockpits can freak out first-timers. Besides, the intercom works better with the canopy in place and without that it’s awful hard to give these kids some stick time!

As a sort of review, here’s the method to my madness in asking in the first place. This is obviously the minimum amount of crewed airplane. Less obviously, a single-seater can have every seat occupied and full fuel and I believe it’s somewhat shielded from mission creep in this respect. With...

Welcome to the forum. Your project sounds interesting. Will it be a true quad or some other sort of multi copter? Also what kind of endurance are you hoping to see at this point?

Amid the chaos elsewhere in life I took a bunch of kids flying. One at a time, of course.

I must be restoring the wrong cars. “Buy low, sell never” seems to be my M.O.

Congrats!

I’ve never tried actually looking. Be neat to have a set, though.

Heads up, the Mynah (which I adore) has some stuff going on under the seat that your sketch does not. I recommend you either source Mynah plans or maybe Ragwing Motor Bipe and save yourself the trouble of figuring out if your own getup will work or not. I think the Motor Bipe plans are well...

…or cheat and have this place on a shallow hillside for a bit of assist.

I think it might be safe to assume the guy who builds a plywood press doesn’t have a milling machine…

I’m not big on how the tail boom seems to be attached but if that cabin structure is strong enough get a load of how big the entry door can be! Just imagine if it was controlled with a side stick on the right and you get in on the left by just sitting down and swinging your legs in. It’s so...

Fair point and I’m not among ‘em anyways.

I wonder what a personal airplane mass produced by the half-millions would look like? A Teenie Two with an air cooled V-twin?

I think that statement alone could be brought out any time someone thinks human powered flight could be easy or commonplace.

I like the tail tip plates to keep the stabilizer narrow. Shades of Arado 231 there…
