Building your own plane?
Yup. Rag and tube fuselage, all aluminum flying surfaces - 2 seet
side by side STOL highwing. Power on dirty stall about 18MPH, normal
landing speed about 35MPH - max cruise on 90HP between 100 and 120MPH
- cruise all day at about 85. Land and take off on a football field
without turning around or backtracking. Got a bad cross wind? No
problem - land it ACROSS the runway.
It's called a Pegazair 100.
