lightweight little single seater entering build stage. An ambitious project to meet all of it's goals (weight and stall, namely), but looks neat.

I think he's wasting his time on a single-seat airplane. Most flyers want to take someone along or have that capability.

80 Mpg?????

Are you surprised by 80 mpg? I should think it would be capable of more. Klaus has achieved 100 mpg with his Varieze.

 

On the design, I wonder about the Reynolds number of the apparently small chord canard at the design stall of 38 mph.

 

Single place worked for the original Quickie (Q1). Then again the Quickie could be built for less than a quarter of the prices they are talking about.
