What do folks think of the idea of a midwing design along the lines of the Malmö MFI-9/Bölkow Bo 208 Junior (derived from the Björn Andreasson's original BA-7 homebuilt) but with a thicker, cantilever wing lowered to about the level of the top stiffener on the MFI-9 fuselage? The wing would still use a little forward sweep to keep the spar behind the cockpit, so visibility would be great but it could use a more conventional bubble canopy, or maybe a flat-wrapped forward-hinged canopy like a Gardan Minicab, and a straight upper longeron from firewall to tail.
