Hello again

I'm not an engineer but I fly with ultralights.

I always had a flair for the minimaxes, due to their boxy design.

Of course my daydream would not be an minimax but an minimax oriented design in some ways.

Also I like the Cloudster of Pop's Props, or at least the feet out in the air style.

I belive you will have an idea in which direction my thoughts are going, right?! ;-)

The bird is a low-wing cantilever style bird, with an fuselage of max 300mm or 12" wide, with the feat out in the air.

The wing should be built in 3 sections, a fix center with either foldable or removable outer panels.

As my request is a cantilever wing, the internal structure of the wing would change dramatic, but would still keep it's max-airfoil

And of course wood and fabric construction with either a 2-stroke or 4 banger in the nose.

A weight target should be below the 254 lbs or even below 220 lbs, empty.
