Peris JN-1

It features a strut-braced high-wing, a single-seat, enclosed cockpit accessed via a door, fixed conventional landing gear with wheel pants and a single engine in tractor configuration.

The main structure is built from sheet foam and covered in fiberglass, as are the fuselage bulkheads, the wing ribs, stabilizers, and the rudder.

The landing gear is fabricated from an automotive leaf spring wrapped with 3-inch fiberglass and mounts wheelbarrow wheels.

With full fuel of 5 U.S. gallons (19 L; 4.2 imp gal) the payload for the pilot and baggage is 250 lb (110 kg).

[1][3] The standard day, sea level, no wind, take off and landing roll with a 38 hp (28 kW) engine is 250 ft (76 m).

The test flight was a couple of hours long, and we had a lot of fun with a J-4 Cub and a Vagabond, all flying formation and taking pictures.
