And what is the earliest powered composite homebuilt aircraft? I'm
thinking it's a Rutan Eze, but maybe there's something older.




I may be wrong, but I think the original Viggen was wood frame and
plywood. Some of the European powered sailplanes might be first.

You are right Ed. I was at Oshkosh the first year Burt flew it there. It
was an impressive airplane in the early 70s.
