Has anyone been thinking of designing a more modern wood , light weight powered sailplane similar to the Fournier RF-3 ? Lighter EW with a lot of carbon fiber parts , but main structure wood. Also powered by a 1200cc to 1835cc light weight VW engine, ( 40 to 60 HP). I have been thinking about it for a couple years.
Any ideas ?
