Aircraft Update!

Time to update the current inventory of planes and kits.

As of today the Mitchell Wing T-10 kit has been sold.  Stephen and Traci (spelling?) of Pueblo, Colorado made the long trek to Aumsville, Oregon to pick up their new project.  Steve has an engineering background and is very enthusiastic about getting the kit completed. I look forward to his future build updates.

The Cumulus Glider kit was sold a month or so back to Jim from Tennessee.  Jim took 5 separate flights to arrive at the Eugene airport, spent one night at a hotel, rented a truck, loaded the kit up and made the odyssey back to Tennessee.  I think the whole trip took him about 10-12 days.  He is also very excited about his new project.

The Sky Cycle Trike was sold locally last year toward the end of the flying season to Steve from Roseburg.  Steve had flown just about every type of aircraft except a weight shift trike, so this was a definitely a new adventure for him.

Finally, within the last few weeks I sold most of my remaining props, engines, ultralight aircraft parts to Mark from Southern Oregon.

All I have left is the Mini Max 1550 V-Max.....and I finally have enough room in the hangar to put on the wings!

Don here, in your experience, could the Mitchell Wing A-10 safely support two people in powered mode?

Hi Don,

The A-10 was definitely designed for a single occupant... in all aspects including wing loading, pod size, engine size, etc. The T-10 is the designed two place version of the Mitchell Wing.

Are you considering to modify a A-10 to fly two passengers? If you were able to re-design to take two in the cockpit, I guess it would simply come down to how much the combined gross weight would end up being.

The Mini Max has been sold. I do have a nice Quicksilver MX that I will be putting up shortly on this page.
