Drawings aircraft Cloudster
Drawings aircraft Cloudster for self-built home in the
garage or workshop.
While the plane looked the same as the previous craft, it has undergone several design changes, including a shorter wing, thus the new designation Cloudster II.
The clipping of the wings by 3 feet has improved the handling of the plane and the addition of the 340 liquid cooled Kawasaki 35 hp engine coupled to Scott's own 2.5 to 1 belt reduction drive has given the plane a little more zip.
The major components of the plane are all wood with metal struts.
The plane is available in plans or as sub component kits.
According to the pilot I interviewed the planes construction is very similar to that of a wood model aircraft kit, and can be built by anyone using standard hand tools, in an area about the size of a two car garage, over 400 to 500 hours.
Once up and ready to fly the plane gets off the ground in about 75 feet,
lifting off at about 25 mph.
With the 340 Kawasaki engine a climb out speed of 45 mph with give a climb rate of about 900 feet per minute, with cruise coming in at around 55 mph.
Weight as equipped at the show came in at 245 lbs. making it a legal ultralight weight wise in the U.S. The "flying crotch rocket" as one bystander described it, uses conventional stick and rudder for controls, in a tail dragger configuration, with the pilots legs going up the side of the fuselage to the rudder pedals.
A flying "Cloudster" will run the average pilot about $4500.00 to build, which would include the kit, engine, some instruments, paint etc.
