Although it looks like a Long-EZ, the Hyperion or “Hyper” is my own design. It’s a 4130 CM steel frame wrapped in a carbon fiber shell. Hired an engineer to design the frame and all the load-bearing points. I built all the molds for the fuselage and other parts. The aerodynamics are Rutan Varieze, but the rest is mine. It's powered by a Honda 1.5 L fuel-injected engine with a Viking gearbox and ECU on it. The prop is a Sensenich three- blade, avionics and comm are Dynon. Getting it ready for paint and then a move to the hanger from the garage.
