The design goal
for the Gurí was not only to create a highly versatile ultralight
but also to make an airplane kit that is easy to build and offers
exceptional value for your money. The Gurí design is a innovative
concept that combines metalic and composites structures into one
integrated package. a true "composite" lightplane!
Rather than choosing a single material and then designing an
airplane around that material's strengths and weaknesses, the Gurí
team used each type of material where it made the most sense from
an engineering and a construction standpoint.
The Gurí
wings are aluminum and fabric. For a important wing surface,
constant-chord wings and slotted ailerons and flaps (for better
lateral control and more lift), aluminum and fabric offers an
unbeatable combination of light weight and ease of construction.
For the sleek
compound curves of the Gurí cockpit, on the other hand,
fiberglass composites are the material of choice. Fiberglass
fabrics and the excelent epoxy-vinylester resin factory molding
cockpit, landing gear and several parts insures a mirror-smooth
finish and a quick, simple assembly project. Rear fuselage is a 6
inch diameter aluminum tail boom with aluminum tube and fabric
tail surfaces.
If
your dream is fly a new ultralight plane that combines tecnologie,
performance and affordability, the answer is the Gurí lightplane.
The BA-5 Gurí is a very affordable plane with quality and
performance like others similar ultralights aircraft models. |
