It's a full-flying stabilator like a lot of the Piper's have.

realy impressed on the wing, Where I can got the plan? please...

[dstarks1943]

Sorry, they only make the planes and don't offer kits or plans. You can find out more at their web site.

so how exactly does the wing attatch to the airframe? it just scares me that you can take out a few small bolts and the wing will turn. I'm trying to figure out what could be up there that is strong enough to hold the airframe and also be able to pivot.

I did the video but I don't have a clue as to the number of the airfoil. It's the same one that Gene Smith has used on all his planes. They all fly great with excellent low speed characteristics.

[dstarks1943]

No struts are needed. It's a full cantilever wing.

I WANT ONE! I love the wa it's such an 'obvious' design, if you get my meaning.

When it said "swing wing", I thought it meant it could alter wing sweep like the B-1 or the F-14 :)

How much would something like this cost to buy, or even get a kit to make?

[dstarks1943]

when they put it in the trailer, you can hear Gene saying it will fit into a 24 foot V-nose trailer.

Like I said in the other video, that's just really slick. It even looks like he had about 3 or 4 feet of extra room in the trailer. It's got me dreaming of buying a house on 2 or 3 clear acres somewhere and storing this in a small garage. I could fly anytime I wanted, any day, without an hour commute to Knoxville.
