Hello,
I recently joined HBA and for the last few weeks I am in the process of preparing the workshop, gathering some tools, and researching information to decide on a type which has available plans to start the build.
The criteria I have are these:
Low wing monplane
Two seat tandem
Tricycle gear retractable
Range +600 NM
Vs -45KT
Vcruise +130KT
Vno +130KT
Vne +150KT
Loads +5g/-2g
Useful mass +200kg
Preferred but not a fixed criteria is manual retraction of landing gear like in the Mooney M20.
So I would like to know any suggestions for the above; the only type with plans available and fitting all the criteria is the Asso X Jewel.
OpenEZ has unclear plans documentation;
AcroCruiser is great but is only in kit form, like the FlyingLegend's Tucano;
KR-Super2 has never been completed by anyone;
JeanPierreMarie Avions' Layon does not have the range;
Lucas L6B has great range at 960NM but is not well known, only a few built, and I cannot find any contact from Émile Lucas' relatives for the plans.
and several other options I found miss one or two of the criteria.
