Free For The Taking!: Twin Ultralight Project, Partially Completed. Frank Hofmann is looking for someone interested in finishing this twin-engine aircraft, which was designed around the then existing Ultralight rules, with an Empty Weight of 254 lb. It is designed to carry two people side-by-side. The wings are designed to fold back along the booms for storage.
Engines can be around 15 HP each, or there may be something better available today. It is all metal construction. Most drawings are available to complete the project . The builder needs to be inventive, but Frank would be glad to advise the builder. It is "Free for the Taking". If the Clecos go with it, the Frank would like a few bucks for the Clecos, etc. For further information call Frank Hofmann: 514-696-4572 (See sketch below)
