Jon Matcho Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 That is a most interesting and impressive accomplishment -- an experimental homebuilt aircraft to its core!It looks like you had trouble with the CAA on this, which is unfortunate. A light canard aircraft would be a good addition, particularly here in the US in the LSA category. The has been getting the stall speeds down.Your web site is a good read with more information and drawings: www.hughlorimer.co.uk/iolaire.htmThank you for sharing!

Jon Matcho Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I found a 20-minute documentary on the Iolaire that also conveys anticipated anxiety with regard to flight testing new aircraft designs. The Iolaire appears to have been a worthy and flyable aircraft based on the last scene's flight footage. Hugh, can you share with us what became of the prototype aircraft?
