Hi,some years ago I bought Bagalini Bagaliante 's plans from the Italian designer. i want to be "insured " that its maxi load can be out fitted : on the plans the pilot weight is up 75 KG (165 lbs) I think it was a standard weight for certification (I am around 190 pounds little less...) I intend to build it using Jim Marske's composite construction. His book is very useful with simplified but exact calculation and his calculations very understandable with a very good practical sense !The original method (wood ) is a great state of art but so time consumer even if it is very beautiful: Can you imagine that each ribs'spars are made with four 4mm wood strips glued side by side on a central plywood rib 's "Skeleton".Does someone of this community know some about this plane ? I have tried to find forums, not any success except some very general but not bad, talks . Blue sky
