He may have kept the wingspan down because the fuse is so long already that balancing and/or fitting it into vehicles might have become a problem? Even though the wingspan is 3" shorter than my 260 the fuse is almost 4" longer. To keep the same ratio and have, say, a 105" yak to be on par with the size of other 100cc planes coming out lately would put the fuse at almost 96" - that's almost as long as the GP 150cc Extra!

Well, DA is overwelmed with Shootout stuff right now so they don't have any fresh 100L's sitting on the shelf at the moment but may by Monday. In the meantime I will get the engine box drilled and a fuel tank made and stuff like that this weekend...

Nick, this a great news. The 100 cc class is a great opportunity for this bird. At this point there are only a couple of high quality, fully capable designs in the market. It will be very interesting to see how it compares one-on-one to your 260 and the EF 110. We will all be following your build and flight evaluations. |

I'd love to get a Bill Hempel plane. I heard they are stable and lock in a knife edge with no coupling.
