Looking at Team Air Bike and comparing it to Legal Eagle - wowie. Is
esthetics an issue? I like the look of the Airbike wing better. Our
local
EAA chapter built a TEAM craft a few years back, and I helped a few nights
building the wings. Look smoother, stronger, with a genuine airfoil.
So, are there plans available for the airbike? I wonder what the
scratch-build cost would be. The one-lung Hirth prob would be the biggest
cost, but to be genuinely 103-legal would be my desire if I buil, and that
means the Hirth or Rotax 277, doesn't it?
Thanks for the replies,
Flash
