I put this thread on EAA forum and had no feedback; HBA forum is more active.
I found Nicollier Menestrel II wing shape interesting for a single strut
high wing braced aircraft, I'm open to any criticism and would find helpful
your opinion about it. Empty weight is conservatively high at 700lbs (engine
conversion) and payload (and performance) is quite low for a LSA aircraft
albeit the 51mph CAS Vs1 stall speed is reached at 1111lbs MTOW.
Performance (max speed)
