That is the first 500lb useful load single place I've ever seen.
It would be a great 2 place.

have a look at the sonerai


Sonerai and Sonex although I have to admit the Corvair powered
"Personal Cruiser" is a much nicer looking plane.

We have one Jabaru Powered Sonex and another group is just finishing
up a VW powered one.

I don't remember what's in the Sonerai, but I think it was a Corvair
engine. He was parked right next to the Deb in the T-hangar while he
was building it, but I don't remember for sure.

I've mentioned it before, but I think we have 17 active (under
construction) projects in our chapter at present.
