"A small plane is an aircraft designed to transport a small number of passengers and cargo". Its advantages, unlike larger aircraft, are:

•Reduced operating costs.

•Greater maneuverability and agility.

•Access to small airports and short runways.

•Private or personal use.

Challenge rules:

In this challenge, I propose to build a light aircraft, either an airplane, glider or a helicopter, basically designed for training activities, private use, etc. Ex: Cessna 150. Your creation must be able to fly correctly, that is, have good control, also, it is mandatory that it have a cockpit, not necessarily so detailed.

More Details:

•Cabin (not necessarily detailed, but that fulfills basic functions).

•It can be a real design, that is, a replica, or it can be a fictitious airplane, but it must be credible.

•The aircraft must have up to a maximum of 2 turboprop engines, or 2 jet engines.

•Must be a successor to this post.

    @Sockdragger It's true, but you can look for old models, there are very peculiar designs.

    Gathering ideas already. Problem is most of today's light aircraft all look the same. Might settle for a classic Klemm 25
