I am looking for Builder logs, Drawings and Specifications for very light airplanes that use carbon fiber pultrusions in wing construction. I want to see what variations have been used to date to utilize the benefits of pultrusions. I am particularly interested in designs that used carbon fiber in the d tube also.
It is probably a pretty short list....
Criteria is:
Must use CF pultrusions in spar caps
Gliders with empty weight of below 220lbs
Motor Gliders with empty weight of below 300lbs
Airplanes with empty weight of below 300lbs
Here is the first airplane, the Monarch... link for Carbon Monarch and Monarch G with an added carbon spar link.
