Ive on my drawing board a sketch of a mixture between the Airbike and the Aeromax. But as the garage is not heated I can’t proceed with the sketching. My aim is to have a Minimax line fuselage, with the Minimax tailgroup, and an aeromax sitting bay and the airbike overhead structure. For the landing gear I’d like to go with the green prototype of the initial Aeromax layout, but with compression shockabsorbers. All shall remain plansbuilt, without any fancy made parts.

Agreed. Let us see some sketches.

So chopping of the structure above the upper rear longerons of the Aeromax fuselage, and adding the overhead metallic structure of the Airbike is the basic idea.
For the tailvolume I dont know which path to take, either the MiniMax style or the Airbike style?!
