    BJC you confirm a basic problem with your contribution. You should really read the thoughts of Barry Smith of 'acroadvanced' (you may search in web). The IAC cuts a lot of opportunities to develop and grow due to the obscure behaviour! Also they exclude great potential from being part of the...

    Sorry mcrea, I've checked all 4 by downloading them - it works. I upload a .dwg and you may try this... Jay, advanced aerobatics in an alu design is not that special. Saving weight will be certainly important. If you have the Sonex, the CriCri, the Corby Kestrel, the Panther aso. in mind...

    A-Bird

    Ok, to say it clear - the A-Bird will be not a competitor to the Extra, Xtreme or Edge! This is out of reach and that is ok. If you increase the design loads to +9/-6 it will increase the costs and the weight and the needed power and and and... It will throw the idea out of a realistic range...

    First of all - thanks for the replies. I don't have answers for all the questions yet. It's the development phase and I try to get as much input as possible. The No.1 goal is to keep A-Bird affordable, my guess is that this will be the biggest issue for a lot of the interested people...
