See, I think [the moon] is ripe for a casino...

What design considerations would come into play for homebuilt aircraft in
that environment? Recycling of worn-out or abandoned equipment would reduce
the cost.

Making mine out of gold foil. It's expensive, but easy to work with.

Hey, Part 103 is still 254 lbs. That's a Warrior up here :-)

Yeah, but your Warrior wings aren't going to do you any good up there.
Nor will your prop. Or your Lycoming. You may also want consider
upgrading to a pressurised ship. :-)

So . . . What are you going to use for thrust?

The best part is the key word in Part 103 is "weighs." There is an
important semantic difference between weight and mass, because 254
lbs weight in lunar gravity is quite a bit more airplane than 254 lbs
weight on earth... so much for the need for sport plane/sport pilot!
