The Easy Flyer was one of the earliest microlights offered in plan form for amateur constructors. Designed by H Beaujon, it was first built in 1976 and offered for sale the following year. It is of classical configuration, remaining very close to the traditional aircraft concept, and differs really only in those aspects of specification and performance where change was essential to qualify it as an ultralight. H Beaujon was one of the first designers to advise using two-¬stroke engines for aeronautical use, and in this instance chose a Rockwell JLO L 395 single cylinder motor weighing 59 lb (27 kg).

B & B Aircraft Sandpiper

Single seat single engined high wing monoplane with conventional three axis control. Inverted V tail. Pitch/yaw control by elevon; control inputs through stick for pitch/roll and pedals for yaw. Integrated flaps and ailerons. Wing braced from below by struts; wing profile; NASA high-lift airfoil double surface. Undercar¬riage has three wheels in tricycle formation: spring steel, inflatable tires. Aluminium tube framework, without pod. Engine mounted below wing driving pusher propeller.
Two struts either side of the pilot support the high wing, and there are no rigging wires, the absence of a kingpost making for a very clean design. Wings are foam blanks fitted to aluminum spars and heat-shrink covered with Dacron. The maker says that 3 inch (7.6 cm) square section tubing is used for the structure, which as a result can handle 9 g. It has a single large diameter vertical wing support between pilot and engine.
