I just got my project on a roll in the right direction.
I bought a suzuki (g-10) Geo Metro engine from a friend who rebuilds all sorts of make and models for a living. Not repair. Re-build. New water pumps, gaskets, Magna flux dipped block. etc. etc. It was a steal. I bought it for 200$.
Now i know that Geo Metro can be flown. Ive seen and heard all sorts of articles about the engine being used. I have checked out a couple of web sites. (www.raven-rotor.com) (www.b2engines.com)
I wanna build a frame. Im thinking of something alike the "Golden Cirtle Air" Tierra T-bird model (www.goldencircleair.com) or something alike the Free Bird Innovations sport 103 model.
I need to find a builders guide. Something that would make sure that my plans are catering the physics of flight. Or something that would explain the basics of makin a successful and fuctional frame. A computer program maybe?
I need to find out how much the whole project would cost total.
6' 8" High. 35 ft wingspan maybe? 18 feet long from tail to nose.
$ of metal /per. foot
$ of Canvas Sail Cloth.
