Hi-Max 1700R
A wrap-around windshield of Lexan makes
for excellent visibility and comfortable flying. Optional windows
are removable for open-air flying in the summer. Wood was chosen as
the basic building material. It is easy to work with, dependable in
its strength characteristics, and is not bothered by the vibrations
associated with 2-cycle engines.
Construction techniques are of the old-fashioned, tried and true
wood truss and plywood gusset method. It is very simple, and builds
quickly.
