shags_j Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Hi All, Was at Caboolture today and saw a 19 reg experimental. It was a taildragger, low wing but the tail plane was actually more like a full wing. Looked a bit bizarre. Cheers, Shags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Koreelah Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I thought so too Shags, until one visited our local. Slippery and impressive it may be, but he used an awful lot of tar to get it into the air. I don't want to think about how it would go landing in a paddock if the noise stopped.

Guest ozzie Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Another Rutan design. There was another two seat similar design called the Dragon Fly. Quick to build off plans and seemed like all the rage back in the late seventies early eighties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure Yoshi's is a DragonFly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shags_j Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 Actually looking at the dragonfly I think you might be right. His might be that one. Wish I took a photo now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
