here ya go Ultralight have fun, tell me everything wrong with it and what should be changed so i can make this even better than your ultralights. and no it doesn't look like the scout kia.

controls

Ag1 for lights

WARNINGS

It stalls right around 70-80mph so it's pretty floaty but dont slam down, suspension isn't the best, I'm going to improve it tho. Its top speed is a bit more than 200 so might be a bit fast for an ultralight

    @UltraLight I have decided to make it a challenge, the almostlight challenge, I already got most of the rules down. Here they are ( so you know them and so I dont forget them)
    1. No more than 300 drag points
    2. Take off speed is to be no more than 100mph, but preferred to be 70-80, points will be deducted for every mph that it goes over, but extra points if it's under 60mph.
    3. Top speed is not to exceed 275mph, and preferred to be at 250 for full points.
    4. Stall speed needs to be at or near 70-80mph, and cannot exceed 90mph.
    I have more but I got irl stuff to do.

    @UltraLight well I think I came up with a new type of aircraft, the almostlight. That's what I'm going to call this, I think it could be the first one, wait to you see the teaser I have planned.

    @PapaKernels limit then to 1,320 lbs and a top speed of 140 mph. One engine, fixed pitch prop, max 2 seats. Fixed gear, likely a tricycle and with a free castoring nose gear

    @UltraLight drag is at 134, and if I get it to that it would take a long time to take off, to late to say it's not an ultralight? What's the next thing up from an ultralight

    @UltraLight what would you suggest to be the top speed? I'm not good with slow aircraft

    @PapaKernels check my Yak-130 for both examples. For all-moving elevator just use rotators, basically the entire horizontal stabilizer changes angle, like it wants to be an elevator. As for tricycle gear, that just means the main(set of 2) gear is in the back or the turning wheel, like on a tricycle

    @UltraLight oh, didn't realize it was that bad, ok I'll try and fix all that. The tricycle gear, is that like how you make yours most often where all the gear is at the same height? And what do you mean by the pitch surface is all moving?

    @PapaKernels make it 1/4 this weight, then contact me back lol. I tried flying it and... it needs to be a lot lighter.

    • And its stalling at the max speed limit for certified ultralights, so that's proof you need to lower it.
    • Also, irl that vertical stab would do nothing at all. Look how it's in the shadow of the body.
    • And idk why all your builds look flattened and lengthened but.. maybe pay attention to that in the future.
    • Drag points should be 150 max, power needs a drastic decrease(these two are very similar).
    • Extend the tail for more pitch authority at low speed, and/or make the pitch surface all-moving, with ft so that it has less deflection at high speed.
    • I believe a certified ultralights also need tricycle gear due to its safer physics so yeah, swap that out.
    • The main body should be just a truss frame, not actual body. Too heavy irl.

    @Ultralight this is it, didn't take as long as I was expecting, when ever you can get to it just as long as its before the new year.
