Has it flown? Plus some other Qs and comments.

This aircraft was exhibited in 2001 but internet chatter suggests it was still unflown in 2004. Do we have a first flight date? Was it? It looks as if the tailplane is all-moving (maybe T-tails always are these days?). It struck me (re another article) that the gull wing is a good example of the aerodynamic advantages of shoulder mounting; that a simple article about water ballast would be handy (it's sort of in wing loading); and, trivially perhaps, a monowheel (glider) article might fly.

All good questions. Careful searches did not turn up those answers and even the company website is mute on the subject of when, or even if, it has flown and how many were made, what the price is, is it still available, etc. The photos all seem to be "artists conceptions", which does not bode well. An article on water ballast would be a good idea, let me see if I can find a ref. Monowheel gear should probably be a sentence or two in landing gear

Done. - Ahunt (talk) 23:29, 27 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
