Welcome Jamie

 

Plenty of advise hear, what do you want your plane to do? Fast, Slow, land in paddocks, tarmac only, amount of fuel etc

 

Cheers Guy

Hi Jamiechipp,Welcome,

 

Before you begin to build you need to identify exactly what it is that you wish to do with your aircraft,once you have done that then you either design your own,if you are capable,to my understanding, this can be done under Regulation 95-10 or you go looking for a design that will do what you want it to do.

 

I started flying 20 years ago by building my own ,what was then called an Ultralight,

 

that aircraft was flying until the middle of last year when it was pentioned off,I`ve almost finished a complete overhaul of my Drifter to bring it back to new condition.

 

If you think I can help,just ask.
