The LSA LITE STAR is the essentials and returns to the simplicity of stick and rudder. Low & slow in a gentle, agile airplane, makes flying fun again. This engine burns 5 USGPH and maintenance can be a DIY bonus. Parts & service on the engine & propeller are reasonable and inspections are minimal. A professionally welded, 4130 fuselage, and wings built with proven, extruded aluminum “I beam” spars, from a shop with 27 years experience building high performance aircraft. Gas tanks are in the wings, not the fuselage, for added safety. A high wing, tail dragger, side by side seating, fabric covered 4130 welded tube fuselage, fabric covered aluminum structure wings. Wheels, skis, or floats.

Single seat single engined mid wing mono¬plane with conventional three axis control. Wing shape; tapering chord; no tail, canard wing. Pitch control by fully flying canard; yaw control by tip rudders on canard; roll control by half span ailerons. Cantilever wing; wing profile; double surface. Aluminium fuselage. Engine mounted at wing height driving pusher propeller.
The Cozza/Scholl Scorpion was only an experimental machine in 1982.
Chicago based designers Craig Cozza and Mark Scholl wanted to create an ultralight with good soaring ability and which would operate safely in temperatures low enough to weaken composites. So the Scorpion uses an all aluminium construction, with Dacron wing covering. Pitch control is by fully flying canard and yaw control by tip rudders mounted on the ends of the canard. Half span ailerons look after roll control.
Particularly novel is the wing construction which allows the pilot to rig the aircraft with 40.0 ft (12.19 m) wings for soaring, or to halve the span by removing a 10.0 ft (3.05 m) panel from outboard end of each wing, in which form the Scorpion will have a more ultralight-like feel. For ease of construction, the fuselage is triangular in cross section, allowing flap panels to be used.
The low drag shape has allowed the designers to use a small engine, and they have chosen the single cylinder Cuyuna 215R of 20 hp for the prototype.

The aircaft was a Rans S4 Coyote Kit that was modified and registered N808KC with the FAA as a light sports Ultra One SN 101. Completed by Kenneth Cottle in 2005, the Ultra One has basic Instruments: airspeed, vertical speed, altimeter, rpm, cht, egt, external antenna, and electric start. The undercarriage has aluminium spring.
