Chris Kohler is building a U.S. Light Aircraft "Hornet," a 2-person Ultralight trainer. It can either be registered experimental-amateur built or as a Light Sport Aircraft. It's made from aluminum tubing, fabric covered and powered by a 2-cycle Hirth engine. Chris says he's moving ever so slowly, but hey! He's old!
