This
project will provide you hours of excitement and fun not only because it
has outstanding flying characteristics but also because is simple to build.
Aluminum
alloy tubes are utilized in most of the craft; some steel tubing and sheets
are needed to give the ultralight the necessary strength in certain areas
(like landing gear).
Most of the assemblies are realized by bolting and riveting, there is a
minor steel welding required.
The double surface wings are fabric covered in the same way as conventional
aircraft.
The wings can be detached for transportation and storage.
The plans shows the parts dimensions and with the help of perspective and
exploded views drawings, the builder can quickly understand, almost at a
glance, how the parts have to be constructed and assembled.
