    Tandem-wing LSA/microlight concept and poll

    Hi, as many of you know, I have a thing for tandem-wing aircraft: Mignet, Croses, Mauboussin, Rutan, you name it. So here's a concept for an original design with tandem wings. Since the French microlight regulations were recently updated to allow a little more weight and speed, those numbers...

    Design Discussion: Dornier Seastar

    The Dornier Seastar is, to me, a very intriguing configuration. Ultimately, my question is: Do you think such a configuration could be made more efficient (in terms of drag) than the Rutan Boomerang configuration? Let's remove the sponsons and streamline the fuselage for a non-amphibian...

    Long ez plans (COPYS)

    purely for educational purposes, could someone send me correct scale plans? It would be used to compare the different canards to see which one would be the simplest to build, maintain, fly, and for structural integrity and aerodynamics. I am thinking about either the long ez or the Mark III. Any...
