Affordaplane

The Affordaplane (sometimes written Afford-A-Plane) is an American plans-built, high wing, strut-braced, single engine, tractor configuration, conventional landing gear equipped ultralight aircraft for the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules.

[1] The aircraft plans claim it can be built out of readily sourced and inexpensive materials using common tools in 150 to 250 hours construction time.

Wings are a "ladder-type" cross-brace structure supported by struts and covered in doped fabric.

Heavier and more powerful engines including the Rotax 503 may also be used, but will result in exceeding the FAR Part 103 less than 254 pound (115 kg) empty weight limit, if the aircraft is otherwise built as designed.

[4] The Affordaplane has a unique single acting aileron control surface approximately the entire length of the wing.
