Why not just build it full scale?
G'day Ted. Now that is a good question! Here in Australia we are allowed to build and fly aircraft that have a take MTOW of 600 kilograms. We do not require a full aviation pilot licence to operate these aircraft so it is an attractive proposition to make a semi scale aircraft. The Ryan at full scale is far too heavy to meet these criteria. Regards Ian Donaldson
