This one is a bit smaller.
call it 16 foot span and 15 feet long.
and maybe a full foot shorter in height.
I think it was 6o to 66 sq ft for the wing area is
about the same for both.

I can't see any scale or measurements on your sketches. Maybe I need better
glasses.

No, you just need the source files, which are drawn full scale.
These are pictures of the cad screen.


Or spec the Rotax 914 (turbo!) and a higher
aspect ratio wing (longer span) for those
mini-U2 missions....

Or an Apex T62-32?

You could lose the cheek cowls, reduce frontal area by a bunch and maybe
come in at your desired weight. Does a tailwheel airframe back up real well?

You, sir, are a man after my own heart.
Who wants to fly under powered aircraft!

But then there is the gas load (!)
Wet wing between the spars (no clue how much gas that is, but that's
all you get).

Climb to 10000 feet in two minutes and play sailplane?

And yes, it backs up real well.
At least on the ground.
Pick it up by the tailwheel and drag it around like a little red wagon.

It's a tiny little thing...
