I relize at my age this is very ambisuis undertaking. But I always seem to need a project to be working on. I'm learning to fly, studying at home and online for Sport Pilot so that i can fly in the Ultra light class. My Hornet will be in FAA PART 103, which will not require any registration or lisense to fly. But many hours of instructor training is needed to fly safely.

This project will take several years to complete, Of coarse if I was younger had more money it could be done fairly quickly. But that is not my situation. In the process now of gathering knowledge and materials. I have some Aluminum and have started cutting and layout of the Air Frame. When the main components are fabracited it will start to look like something but will be far from complete. The Air Frame is reletively easy. Flight controls and mechanical systems will take some time.

Laying out Airframe



Pre-Assembly of air frame



Center holes for compression struts.



Test fitting landing gear



Mockup Rotax engine and flight insterments



I hope to get around to making a page just for the build.
