Very nice features; I am planning on building again in near future and would certainly like this when it comes to storage. Anyone have this type plane on floats. Always had high wing
Wow.. This is awesome. I could see fabricating a light aluminum dolly to hold the wingtip up to make it a completely 1 man operation. Hand winch on the trailer with 3 pull out ramps for the wheels to go up on, and youre done.. Looks like aircraft ownership is starting to look somewhat realistic for the average joe, like me.
Now I'm really interested in the plane. Hanger fees are the same as a car payment here and I've got a heated garage that I could easily store this plane in.
Been there, done that. Sucks doesn't it? You put all of the blood/sweat/tears into it and feel like it's yours and BAM, move away and dad keeps it. :( On the plus side you will find the tanks are usually full when you come home to visit.
This Aircraft is developing well I like what I see the simplicity & performance seems too be meating & passing all design criteria I still want one in Australia the question now is when?
The fuel tank is in the fuselage behind the passengers. The control linkages hook up automatically when you shove the wing into place...those 2 I know.

That is just awesome.

It's all about being affordable.
Good job Van :)
