Hey Guys,:ban:

First off don't laugh I didn't spend alot of time drawing these up, there more for getting an idea on a page.

The 3 images are different ideas of the same project, and I am looking for your corrective criticism for scale and size of different parts. Of course there are no weight or balance dimensions yet but they will be coming.

I wasn't sure if I am going to be making it out of wood or metal. I am trying to keep weight and size down, I want this to be a small sleek little craft. No wasted space or length.

The width of the aircraft should be no wider then shoulder width (tight fit!)

What sort of engine do you think would be a good choice?

Do you think its possible to make this an ultralight?

Does this design resemble other ultralights or homebuilts or light sport planes?

If you have a similar design please show me!

I think of this as a micro version of a P-40. to give you a visual.

Thanks guys!:ban:
