Since I just did a two-day EAA gas welding workshop I've got steel tube and fabric on the brain. Does anyone know of any scratch-built, tube-and-fabric (wings could be wood or aluminum), two-seat designs that would meet European microlight rules (450-992 lb gross weight or a little more, 100 hp maximum, 35 kt/40 mph/65 kph or less stall speed)? Basically, I am looking for two-seaters that can be built with an empty weight of 500-600 and use a high-lift airfoil and/or a lot of wing area. Here are a few I have come up with:
--Milholland Double Eagle/Cabin Eagle
--Pietenpol Air Camper with the optional welded fuselage
--Wag-Aero Sport Trainer (Cub clone) stripped down to J-3 specs
Any more come to mind?
