It is a homebuilt, available as plans only, no kits. This is good for me as I will need lots of the small details that a set of plans can provide. I have chosen the Cherry BX-2 Here is the link http://www.bx-2.de/e/html/cherry_bx-2.html
Why this aeroplane? Well....
- Two seats, side by side
- Low wing design
- Designed low horsepower requirement (only 65 HP)
- Tricycle retractable undercarriage
- Detachable wings, for road transport
- Full span flaps with drupe ailerons
- Composite construction
In short many of the features I want in the twin have already been worked out by the designer and given the numbers of these aircraft that are flying world wide, it is safe to say that these features have proven themselves reliable. If I do not have to re-invent the wheel then all the better, as there is less scope for me to muck things up.
