Airplane design.
Just as a friendly challenge to anyone foolish enough...
Design an airplane within the 254 pound weight limit. IFR or not? Does it have to be able to fly into known icing?  Ben Hallert PP-ASEL - http://hallert.net/cozy/

Airplane design.
The only thing stopping me from hanging tricycle gear and a pair of
JetCat 200 turbojets off my Wright machine is the $10k+ cost of the engines. Supose I could just use a pair of chainsaw motors... or even 6 model airplane engines, but that wouldn't be nearly as cool. By Wilbur's calcs, the 1902 glider only requires 6 hp at 30 kts cruise. Stall is at 14, and Vne is about 50 kts. Of course it'll still fly like crap compared to a modern UL, but then the design is 104 years old. Harry
