I dunno if this has been launched yet ?
Anyway..I want your ideas for a very lite possibly portable design..I am working on mine right now.
I have
1. 3,35 m fuse
2. 7 metre wing
3. 4,5 m2 wing area
4. 8-20 hp engine selection ( all 3-5 kilos 2 strokes ).
5. Plywood-carbon-glassfibre structure of 50-65 kilos ( max ).
6. 2 -3 gallon of fuel for 3 hour flight
7. Top speed 103 mph and stall 35-40 mph ( goal ) ( V ne 115 mph ).
8. Cost for homebuilder 5 000 usd max.
9. Able to carry 230 lbs pilot of 6'4''
10.Moderatly aerobatic
Very simplified ac with classic looks. It is a high wing monoplane with tractor layout with V-tail and monowheel.
What direction should I take or is this ok ?

Luciole MC-30 is a bit into that direction too; http://luciole18.over-blog.com/ see the all new Luciole MC30 GT in the link !!!
DA-11 is not quite what I mean..since it is faster like a miniature fighter, but I like its simplicity a lot; http://aircraft-spruce.com/da11.html
