WHING DING BIPLANE ULTRALIGHT AIRCRAFT PLANS ON CD PLUS EXTRAS

Description

Hovey set out to create the lightest aircraft to carry a person ever to fly, with the resulting design being a biplane, with a plywood  box filled with Polyurethane foam serving as the fuselage, supporting the  pilot's seat. The aircraft features a conventional fabric-covered empennage  carried at the end of a short tailboom made of aluminum tube. The horizontal  stabilizer is made from reinforced cardboard. Early versions used wing warping  for roll control, while later models used full-span ailerons. The specified  pusher configuration powerplant is a McCulloch chainsaw engine turning a hand-carved  wooden propeller via a chain drive.
