Dear Aviation Enthusiasts,
I teach math in an inner city high school in Southern Illinois.
I've been studying airplane projects to build myself alone but also
have thought about forming a high school aviation club to build an

Thanks,

you need to build an aeroplane they can finish and one that they can
fly.
the Tailwind is a handful for inexperienced pilots.

your best bet is chris heintz' zenair zodiac hds. this is a simple
aeroplane which flies really sweetly on a jabiru 2200cc engine.
it looks good which is important and it uses simple constructional
methods.

if you want to build in wood Corby's CJ1 starlet is an aerobatic
single seater that is easy to build.
