Peter started with a design concept:
* Complete kit must be under $1,000 and hopefully under $800.
* Must have low parts count and easy for a first time scale kit builder to construct.
* Must be around 1/3-scale or span of about 4.5 meters.
* Must fit into average size vehicle without the need of time consuming assembly/disassembly.
* Must offer options of both aerotow and self launching.
* Must have excellent parts prefabrication so no need for complex cutting and/or fabrication.
* Must be simple to build without the need for jigs and/or custom fixtures.
* Must have excellent flight characteristics but yet be easy for a beginner to fly.
* Must be an appealing full-scale design, but unique in that it has not been commonly modeled.
* Must be easy to physically handle, easy to pick up and to carry.
A very tall order to say the least...but here it is!!!
