We would have it done by now because we had built the airplane for the
proposed 1232 pound weight limit. When the final rule came out, we
made the business decision to re-engineer the airplane for 1350 pounds
and we had to build new prototypes for testing.
Is there a market for a single seat production plane?
One seat (S)LSA: Now you have (maybe) 150#'s extra to play with. Diesel!
Crotch-rocket motorcycle, single person jet-ski, single person hang-glider,
single person glider, single person kayak, ....single person plane. Where do
I sign up? Also, no need to insure that second seat!!! Plus low purchase
price = lower hull insurance.
Wings that remove, or fold back, for a (max) width of 7-ft. Plane not longer
than 22-ft (20-ft would be better). Prop rests at 9-3 so plane can be towed
backwards - home to the garage. (Plane up on a trailer can't clear the
garage door - never tried g)
Anyone have something like that on the drawing board? Small, certified,
production (RV-3 type? Or a high wing?) single seater LSA ...that I can tow
home? Under $45K? Oh, 2 miles per minute in cruise would be nice :-)
