I was wanting some expert advise and opinions you guys have on a design concept of a Half size replica of a Curtiss P-40 War Hawk, but with a ultra light aluminum frame and body just like the hummel bird - teenie two - sd-1 minisport - or even a Cri Cri. what do you guys think? my engine will be a Hirth f-23 50hp. I am skilled in aluminum welding and fabricating so the building wont be the problem I just don't know it will perform like the full scale aircraft? I will try and keep the weight less than 300 around 275-285 empty. -The Original P-40 is: Crew: 1 Length: 31.67 ft (9.66 m) Wingspan: 37.33 ft (11.38 m) Height: 12.33 ft (3.76 m) -1/2 P-40 Crew: 1 Length: 15.83 ft Wingspan: 18.65 ft Height: 6 ft Weight: no more than 275 lbs empty. Engine: Hirth F-23 50HP
