This is an open invite to express your opinions about our possible return to the ultra light market. I have always enjoyed the flying a UL offers, simple, low cost, and with the right plane, a fun flying feast. Most all of our single seaters went dormant due to our need to concentrate on the S-19 project, and now that the program is successful and running smooth, we have the itch to perfect a new UL.
The big buzz these days is electric power, and being interested in the low cost and clean potential of e-flight, I have been sketching up various ideas for a 103 legal plane. The one idea that has been winning the most appeal from staff and yours truly is a lighter roomier re-vamp of the S-4. There is just something about a sweet flying single seat high wing taildragger, which the charm never wears off.
The proposed plane would have some interesting aspects that would hopefully make it a fun e-flyer.
Folding wings
Welded steel tube fuselage
Standard aircraft fabric covering
Semi-reclined seating position
Easy entry door
½ or 1- hour flight time
Traditional configuration with non-traditional styling
Under 12K price for complete plane
Under 20K price for a fly away plane
All prices subject to change, we know that!
Be my guest to email me and discuss this project, I will answer as I can, and hopefully we can see something fun come out it.
I hope you have enjoyed this bit of RANS news, and we hope to do this again real soon, perhaps every month or so, when we have something to talk about!
