Yes but not all, like the escapade Kid and others: less drag= less power for the same performance,and you can install a Wankel or the Brigg&Stratton 630 4 stoke (up to 38hp) more and more use in europe: less noise, less consumption, more range...
I can't imagine this costing alot of money. $5000-$7500 ? I wish i lived in a area where there are many places to test out a homemade aircraft.Like the deserts in Arizona,or near the Salt Flats.I've alway wanted to fly,had the money to buy a used Ultra light,but not enough area to fly,and too much air traffic.McGuire AF Base,Willow Grove,NADC(houses now),Phila It'l airport,N.E. Phila airport,Mercer co.,Nj airport.I absolutely tip my hat to all you pilots flying garage built low budget planes !!!
@pgpete I thought the same of the Sonex when it first came out, but through the years its grown on me. The true beauty of this thing is its simplicity.

Dont think much of the design myself. But hey, to each his/her own......

could it make it 50 miles? Can a larger fuel tank be installed?
yankman91 2 years ago
@yankman91 Fuel tank size is limited by Part 103. Make it an experimental and all things are then possible.

also, what kind of range can be expected?
yankman91 2 years ago
Not much. it's slow and carries little fuel
contactmag 2 years ago
do you need a pilots license to fly this?
yankman91 2 years ago
No. It's a true Part 103 ultralight
contactmag 2 years ago
@yankman91 No license is necessary to fly this plane, or any Part 103 compliant ultralight.

This plane has almost zero downward vision. I hope the pilot does not want to check where he is!
ZKMX7 2 years ago
Many low and mi-wing planes are that way.
contactmag 2 years ago
True, but this seems worst than most.
Hope it doesn't fly in the same sky with planes with now upward vision (such as trikes)!
ZKMX7 2 years ago
But you can look between your feet. The cockpit is completely open. In fact, you enter the plane from below.
