    Biplane folding wings: plans, pictures, drawings?

    Hi everyone. I’m looking for plans, pictures, or drawings of biplane folding wings.

    Life's been getting in the way for the last few years which has slowed work on my Project-Ex idea to less than a crawl... but the dream of a composite pusher has still been bubbling away.

    Roger Mann is building a new, affordable Ragwing ultralight.

    Hi all. Roger Mann, the guy behind Ragwing aircraft, is at it again. He designed and built a lot of ultralights back in the day, and has been away from it for a while; but now he’s working on a new ultralight that should cost under $5k to build, in the post-***** economy.

    The Scout and other car roof-portable folding wings ultralights
