Looking for a two-seater design
that has about 100hp, can fly basic aerobatics safely and cruise at
least 150mph. My reference and comparison of this design is Cessna A150. I want a design that has the same aerobtic capability as Cessna A150 with lighter control(Stick of course!), and flys much faster. What I can think of a Europa (not very aerobatic capable), Avid Acrobat/Kitfox speedster (slow), MCR100 (sophisiticated construction, quoted 5000 labor hours), Sonerai/Sonex (suggested pilot only to fly acro), KR-2(not very aerobatic capable) I know everyone will say, for your mission, go build a RV. Actually, what I want IS a RV--a 100hp RV. Why do I want a 100hp airplane? Because I like Cessna A150, but it's just too slow. I belive with the latest material development and design method, there should be a much improved Cessna A150 type plane. The building cost and ownership of a 100hp RV-type plane is certainly lower than a real RV. If no new suggestion comes up, I will probably bite the bullet to go with a MCR100. A friend of mine is building a Cri-Cri, genious design, so I am sure I won't go wrong with the two-seater MCR100, just a loooong time to build. OR, I may want to be too stupid to design such a plane myself. What's the aerodynamic relationship between aerobatic capability and fast cruising speed? |
