Default RE: Plane recommendations for starting IMAC

Once you see what the 'models' are modeled after they look so much cooler! Nice plane you got there.

One of my pipe dreams is to design a plane for my thesis or something, and a step further would be to have a biofuel conversion engine towing it around (mechanical engineering major). With all the free time they leave you in the curriculum I doubt it will ever happen, but hey, you never know...

Anyway you're absolutely right - hopefully this degree will earn me a house with a room that's actually big enough to put a plane together (wing dings are just totally unavoidable at this point) and weekends off to fly my planes. And hopefully a pilot's license.


Back to the thread topic: I guess the recommendation is something at least 25% if not bigger. Extra, Edge, Sukhoi, Staudacher...any of these would be fine, and gas is the way to go for IMAC.

What about bipes?


...time to keep dreaming...
