Does an open source kit aircraft exist?
Some of these designs have been around long enough there are volumes of modifications and resources, so would an open source aircraft make sense?
I'm thinking something like a Long EZ, but even more simplistic.
This aircraft might be built from wood and plastic and theoretically be:
15% heavier
50% cheaper
75% easier to build
Plans could be as simple as Solid Works drawings for vacuum forming bodywork and templates for plywood. We need an open source flat pack aircraft.
