 It
wasn't so much the site itself that caught my imagination, but the two
very interesting models featured on it.
This company is dedicated to bringing new and
original aircraft designs developed specifically for sport flying, and
at very reasonable cost, to the average builder/flyer. "Much as we
love them," say the proprietors, "we will never produce a
Piper Cub or a P-51"!
The home page is nice and simple, setting out
the ethos of the company and providing links to their two featured
models - the Crossbow and Phase 2, both very interesting.
Crossbow is a fully-sheeted, permanently
mounted joined wing design and extremely elegant! The laser cut kit
comes with a full hardware kit from DuBro; the model has a 52"
wingspan and is designed for ·30 - 46 2-stroke engine and 4-channel
radio. Cost $139.95.
  
 The
second model being offered by Leading Edge Inc is the Phase 2 -
and this one I find very tempting! Said to feature a new building
technique that's guaranteed to produce a straight, warp-free wing, this
model has a 65" wingspan with a lovely-looking forward-swept
wing, is 52" long overall and is designed for ·60 2-stroke
engine. "Fully aerobatic, but lands like a baby." $159.95.
