Hi, Another NEWBIE-WANNA-BE-A-JET-PILOT.
Have read hours worth of the posts in this area and eliminated most of the exotic stuff.
I'm hoping that this type will be possible without too many major design changesonder:.
The wing sweep will most likely be the biggest challenge, which is OK, but I don't want a Hershey bar.
4130 and glass OK, Stressed skin Aluminum OK, some Fabric OK...or combination's but No wood.
Here are some specs I would like to get close to:
Single seat...24' wingspan range...80HP (Jabiru)...100kt cruise...50kt stall...3 hour range...fixed spring gear...incorporated BRS.
Not much to ask for in an ugly airplane, but as soon as you try to add a "cool" factor its like asking for the Government to work.:gig:
Thanks.
