Basic Ultralight Glider
Does anyone have experience building the BUG ultralight sailplane?
I want a small lightweight powered fixed wing similar to a naonlight trike for just slow putting around and soaring. The BUG looks like exactly what I want in a airplane however I want it powered so it will be a self launch aircraft. As far as power I would want one of the nano trike or PPG engines to power it like a 28hp Hirth or MZ 34 single cylinder or something along those lines.
I would have it setup as a pusher and probable fit the plane with a tri landing gear.
With the basic design does anyone see any problems or concerns with adding an engine to this design.
Thanks,
Grant
