Pdf isn’t hard to print right and I may be able to convert them to CAD pretty easily. Personally when it comes a a low and slow just all around fun plane the sbach 65 is the ticket. It’s only downfall in the original design is that it was built heavy and the wings where held with a joiner block instead of a tube so it was really easy to damage in a slight dork and the joiner being built from wood would were over time causing the wing to fit sloppy. When I return to work and fire up the laptop again I will get you the plans for it.

I started fixing the hangar rash on Miss Moana tonight. I patched the spot with Solartex which turned out well. I want to seal the edges with thin CA but I don't have any. Unfortunately we don't have a hobby shop anywhere near here anymore so I guess I'll hit up the hardware stores or order some online.

That. Looks good and the skin looks nice and tight. Just needs some colour.

I will appreciate what ever you give me. Thanks for your help. I like light slow and 3D.

Well both the mojo60 and sbach65 will do low and slow really well. Mojo is prolly easier to build but it’s also a one piece wing so you need to be able to transport something fully assembled or mod it to a two piece wing. I guess I would say between the two I feel the sbach flys better but the mojo is more forgiving.

Reading the AMA magazine this morning I found a kit mfgr Manzano Laser Works, they make short kits.

What caught my attention was the "Just Aircraft Highlander" which is a similar version to a plane that I would like to scratch build if I ever see myself doing it.. the Just Aircraft Super STOL

What I really like about the plane other than the fact that it's a little bushplane, is that it has LE Slats, and a really unique gear shock system - much like a storch but better. Pivots in the center, and has struts on the fuse sides. Bush planes with LE Slats can land at a higher angle of attack (like 30 degrees roughly) making a tail wheel landing (hyd shock absorber there too), so if you can imagine the nose falls fairly quick and the gear helps absorb that impact very well.
It would be a fun project I think, and would learn a bunch in the process.
Full scale has a 31'3" wing. so quarter scale is roughly 93.75" which I think would be a 35cc engine? I would be intimidated trying to make a fiberglass cowl though.
