43012 Weedhopper 3D Concept

Introducing the new 43012 Weedhopper. I've re-engineered 90% of the OEM JC-24 C for easy storage in a garage and transport via a 5'x8' utility trailer. Featuring:

1. A true vertical stabilizer that uses the OEM rudder nearly as-is,
2. A two-piece folding or fully removable horizontal stabilizer,
3. An all-new, two-piece, 6' root chord x 3' tip 'hard wing' using the high-lift, low Cm NACA 43012 airfoil with sharp TE for significant drag reduction vs. OEM TLAR airfoil dacron sock wing,
4. A 3.5 deg wing incidence for a more level boom/tail during cruise flight, further reducing drag,
5. A true dyna-focal engine mount for Rotax 447 and 503 engines,
6. A spring-shock nose wheel with thrust bearing head tube,
7. 4" band brakes on the main gear,
8. Hybrid main axle consisting of 1" x 1/8" wall tube with 3/4" solid stubs for wheelbarrow-type wheels with 3/4" bearings.
