Hi all...:)
I have been reading up on the Highlander made by Just Aircraft. It seems like a really decent plane, and there is quite a few flying. Is there anyone on this forum that flies one, or should I say built and flies one.

A video I watched says that it has a under-cambered wing, which is like the wing on my old plane, but that guy called it a "stepped" wing design. It is capable of some really slow speeds,(big flaps and vortex generators) in the twenty mile per hour range, and yet has a decent cruise. Roomy plane with a nice size dash too. They also say that it works with the Bushking VW engine, which would be the price-point or afforable way to power it. I have not heard of the Bushking before, but it seems like a great power-plant. I would prefer to use the Rotax, but at almost 10k less, (I think that number is right) it makes the kit more affordable.

What can you all tell me about it?
