RagWing Special Ultralight.

Ultralight Aircraft Magazine - The RagWing RW 2 Special is another of Roger Mann's unique all would aircraft designs. It is a single seat ultralight biplane similar in looks to the Pitts Special. The aircraft kit is constructed entirely of wood and covered in standard aircraft fabric covering materials. Building times are reported to be in the 350 - 500 hour range. No special tools are required, and the aircraft built in the space of a double car garage.

RagWing Special

The Rag Wing RW 2 is a biplane, taildragger, in a tractor configuration with true three axis controls. It has a center mounted stick, a steerable tailwheel via rudder pedals, and a left hand throttle. In the ultralight category power is supplied by the Kawasaki 440 A, but the airframe can handle engines from 35 to 65| horse power.
To my knowledge aircraft kits are no longer available but the Rag Wing RW 26 can still be built from plans which are available from ragwing.net

Help SUPPORT The Light Sport And Ultralight Flyer Web Video Magazine So We Can Continue To Bring You These Videos! 

Ultralight Aircraft Magazine - Welcome to the Ultralight Aircraft News our goal is to cover as many aircraft expositions that host aircraft described as ultralight aircraft, light sport aircraft, experimental light sport aircraft, amateur built aircraft, ELSA or homebuilt aircraft that fit into the definition of ultralight aircraft in Canada or light sport aircraft, or experimental amateurbuilt light sport aircraft in the United States. 

These include three axis control aircraft, weight shift control aircraft, more commonly known as trikes, powered parachutes, helicopters, gyrocopters and powered para-gliders that meet the light sport or ultralight aircraft definition.

Airshows and aircraft expositions that we cover include, the Deland Sport Aviation Showcase, U.S. Sport Aviation Expo, Deland Sport Aviation Showcase, E.A.A.'s Sun N Fun, E.A.A.'s Airventure, the Midwest LSA Show, Copperstate, UPAC Convention and Aero Friedrichshafen in Germany. We try to regularly attend regional shows like the Arlington Fly-In, and Rocky Mountain Fly-In. 

Your subscription includes Rotax 582, and HKS aircraft engine rebuilding videos, which are EACH nearly 2 hours in length! PLUS hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of web video interviews with designers, manufactures, builders, and suppliers of ultralight light and light sport aircraft parts and accessories.
