Mike Patey has been building Draco's replacement. Based upon a Carbon Cub frame, he has been building a modified version with long travel suspension, carbon fibre skin and a four bladed air boat prop driven by an 800hp racing engine he happened to have lying around. Additional goodies include multiple Garmin panels in the dash (and on the back of the pilot's seat) enlarged tail surfaces and a rocket launched parachute for the whole plane.
No word on the wings yet.
It took me a while to handle the guy's manner in the videos, but there's no denying he knows what he is doing putting an airplane together.

PS C. Jenner haters might want to skip episode #31.
