Er, sorry, that's from issue five. In issue four there is a whole two pages on it, but basically:
Design Goals:
- As good or better flying qualities than the -9A
- 550lb payload
- 750lb empy weight
- low parts count, to reduce kit costs and assembly time
- systems installation at lowest possible level of structural subassembly (whatever that means)
- minimal use of composites
- maximum use of simple hand tools, possibly eliminate all pneumatic tools (!!)
Desired Performace Numbers:
- max gross takeoff weight: 1,320lbs
- max stall speed: 51mph (45kts)
- max speed in level flight with max power: 138 mph (120kts)
- two-place maximum
- single, non-turbine engine
- fixed or ground adjustable prop
- fixed gear
(basically, LSA requirements)
Other points:
- using a 100hp Rotax 912S, water/air-cooled engine
- prop choice is hollow-blade composite rom Sensenich
- easily removable wings
- trailerable width
- steerable nosewheel
- seats forward of main spar
- full span flaperons
- stabilator
Notes this is a proof-of-concept plane, not a production prototype.
The two computer drawings of it makes it look like a shorter/smaller RV-9A.
That's probably more what you are looking for, hope that helps!
(Now when will we get a steerable nosewheel on the -7?!)
