Le-5 Sighthound

Auto Credit Based on MrSilverWolf's General Aviation Aircraft Challenge! ( Closed )

Entrant into MrSilverWolf's General Aviation challenge. In anticipation of a revival in the light aircraft market, we set out to make the most state-of-the-art, cutting edge, competitively priced general aviation light aircraft ever... but when we went down to the shop all we could find was a sheet metal break, a rivet gun and an old two bladed prop. So, we proudly bring to you the finest 1950's style aircraft to roll off the line today. You won't find any composites, complex curves, fly by wire or any other sexiness in this old bird. What she lack in technology she makes up for in charm... we hope. Joking aside, the Sighthound will make a great sightseeing, training, hobby plane. It sips fuel as it putters around at a max of 120mph. AG1 for Position, Anti-collision and cockpit instrument lights.

    @jlewisifer no problem! Yeah I don't see too much GA aircraft on the site so I thought that this challenge would be nice to see what GA planes come up

    @MrSilverWolf thank you. Good challenge! Not too much general aviation going on on simplePlanes comparatively.
