The
Millenium Falcon
From Starwars fame rises an early version of
the Falcon family. The prototype 3 featured sailcloth wings, tube wing
structure, a short, early fuselage which was a predecessor to the later full
fuselages, engine and wings supported on a tubular structure and enclosed with
sailcloth. Very simple, fuel tank exposed and removable, wings removable and
foldable, simple landing gear. The original had a Cuyuna 340 and worked just
great. It was never produced in favor of the later full fuselage and wing d-tube
and tedlar versions. Of course these were very high tech and cost accordingly. I
plan to reintroduce the prototype 3 under the name "Millenium Falcon"
in the near future and bring it in UL-legal, under $ 10,000.-. It will offer
many of the original features, such as quick removable folding wings, a
simplified canard with sailcloth covering and elevators attached via zipper,
external airfoil ailerons, and so on
