[Garry Morgan]

For those who want a 95-10 or a hassle free aircraft, 150kg empty, we are doing plans and or parts. Morgan Aero Works.

Any other details available?

 

 

[Garry Morgan]

The 95-10 Diamond plans wont have a tapered wing ( but can be done) cost about $450.00 and most motors can be used. it will look the same as the kit Super Diamond aircraft.

 

 

[Gribble]

Im guessing its the Mk1 Diamond specs modded to suit 95.10? Where are you trimming 35kgs from? Suitable for your more husky sized man in both height and width?

 

Some more specs would be nice, but you definately have my attention.

 

 

[Garry Morgan]

The super diamond has the same spars and fuse tube sizes as the sierra, this makes it well over strength approx 15G aircraft and a lot more in the fuse, so a redesign of materials will reduce a lot of weight, and it will still carry a very good payload, and still look like a real aeroplane, The prototype with a 90lb 503 rotax was 185kg.

Any updates on the availability of plans?

 

 

[Garry Morgan]

If you are interested please ring the workshop, We are bussy with LSA stuff at present and some delays in getting them ready, but also there has been no/ little intrest in them so far,

A few questions:

 

• Can the Super Diamond be built as a tailwheel
   
   
  
• Do the wings come off for regular transport
   
   
  
• Are four strokes such VW or 1/2 VW useable?
   
   
  

 

 

 

 

[Garry Morgan]

all our aircraft can be nose or tail wheel just turn around the main frame

 

all our aircraft de rig in 5-10 min, easy for doing it each day, we did it for 20 yrs every saturday.

 

If using a VW I would use 4 cyl not a 2 cyl but could be used , they dont have much power.

Looks to good to be true

 

 

[crazy diamond]

Ok, how much and what's the go?? I need something to build!

 

 

[Garry Morgan]

Plans are $450.00 with construction manual and photos, any parts are available from our workshop.

 

 

[fly_tornado]

Do you have a price list of the parts? Things like canopies, cowlings and welded parts speed up the build.

Give them a phone call, they are very helpful.

I already have two planes.

 

 

[Gribble]

Is there a rough estimate of the cost of materials if built to plan? I know its hard to be excact due to fluctiating prices but a ball-park figure would be tops.

 

Cheers

about $3,500, a 1600 VW doesn't need much work to it for an auto con, or a 337-503 rotax would be the cheapest way for a motor 2-3k instruments and fit a hand held radio

well do you think a 2 seater in plan form would interest people

Yes, I'm sure there would be interest in an affordable, simple, plans-built 2 seater.

 

 

[fly_tornado]

Don't take this the wrong way but I think what is missing from Morgan Aeroworks is marketing. Look @ the big US kit manufacturers like Sonex and Zenith and their marketing is miles ahead of what you are doing now.

Isn't this question the first step to marketing, find out if what you offering is what the market wants, when it wasn't, ask what they might want instead. The market is having a holiday at the moment anyway so perhaps it is a bad time to ask?

 

 

[Garry Morgan]

Tornado, I total agree with you, as a small business it is hard to find the money to get a marketing manager as others do, that turn over big money in a big manufacturing. I have someone else do our web site, as people have said to me about doing more updates, It would be good be able to do it .Good point.

 

 

[fly_tornado]

I am sure you will sell a few more kits if you focus on your customers issues with taking on a kit. Its a big commitment.

 

 

[Garry Morgan]

There is a 2 seat coming to build of a plan, and components, and a range of other aircraft to suit all levels .Also self launch gliders, like the idea of flying for free.
