These
aircraft were conceived because of different ideas that came up.
For example, the Hoppy was designed because a friend of mine was
wanting to build a two-place airplane. He needed an airplane that
was safe, inexpensive and easy to build. Out of my conversations
with him, the Hoppy was conceived. Will these airplanes ever be
built? I have no idea but the drawings are here for you to see.

Hoppy
This
airplane is a two-place, tandem seat airplane. The cantilever
wing has a constant chord for easy building. The aircraft can
be built with tricycle gear, conventional gear or floats. As with
all of my aircraft, the number one design criteria is SAFETY.
Next, the aircraft needs to be comfortable and roomy and powerful.
The Hoppy is designed for a four cylinder auto engine with a PSRU.

I
conceived this aircraft back in 1998. It was designed to look
somewhat like the BD-5 but larger to make the aircraft more accomodating
to "real" sized individuals. The aircraft seats two
in a tandem seating arrangement with a pusher engine and retractable
landing gear.
