Rusty, V.W., No electric is 163 lbs. This depends on the conversion you
use, but this is what mine weighs. I've been looking at my Starlet
project sitting in the rafters, probably the next project after the RV.
If you can get 100-110 HP out of a single rotor, that would really make a
Starlet perform well at 460 LBS empty. Fred

Thanks for all the links. If I
do a twin, it will have to be a centerline thrust arrangement, since I'm
not a multi-engine trained pilot. I'm guessing that the twin Cozy
is pretty well behaved on one engine, but I just don't have any interest
in doing the multi-engine training required to be safe in a normal
twin.
I've ordered plans for a Sonerai-I,
and will be ordering the Corby Starlet plans as well. Both of these
have potential to make a single rotor aircraft.
Does anyone know the typical
all-up weight of a VW conversion? It looks like 1800-2180 is about
the norm for these planes.
Thanks,
Rusty
