What's new?
Well it's an LSA - Light sport aircraft
It's heaps lighter than the standard Cub...carbon-fibre and other space age material
The motor is interesting...180hp for the first 5 minutes then its power drops back to 80-100hp...
Climb rate is 2100fpm...thats heaps.
Take-off roll with 1 pilot - about 30 meters...
So would it work as a tow-plane???
Questions....is the bulk of the airframe still covered in fabric, it'd be nice get away from that ongoing costs.
What's the life of the engine.
It still looks like an aircooled engine which is a problem.
Is the airframe suited/strong enough to tow gliders???
Keep looking people...the right solution will come by one day....
One that doesn't have aircooled engines, no fabric, diesel would be great otherwise non-avgas, and a climb rate that solves all the other problems...
