Gudday all,
I decided to make this little aircraft as a bit of a practice run for an upcoming model that my self and couple of other contributors at www.aussim.com. That aircraft will be an Edge 540 based upon VH-PIP (www.edgeaerobatics.com & you have to check out the paint scheme, it looks sensational).
Back to the point of this post, this aircraft is the Corby CJ-1 Starlet & was Australia's first certified homebuilt design. It has a 55HP to 75 HP (max) Volkswagon engine and cruises @ 120KIAS +. The rate of climb is in the order of 1100 ft/min and the roll rate is approx 270 degrees/sec.
It'll be released as soon as Aussim is back online! (& posted elesewhere such as here a week or so after)

Thanks Rifleman, these little aircraft go like "buggery" (i.e. you'd be quite impressed to see the performance of them)!! I bought the plans some time ago & when i get the time i'll start constructing one for myself.
It'll be released soon to here!
