This blog was created to detail the construction of a French ultralight designed by Claude Piel called the Onyx. It is built with sitka spruce and aircraft grade birch plywood. I will be fitting it with a Koenig SC-430 2 stroke radial engine.

Canard Spar #12
I glued the final scarf joint on the canard spar shear web tonight. Things keep proceeding well. I did notice from the pictures of the prototype that I made an error when building the fuselage. The upper longerons are supposed to line up with the outside of Frame #2. The plans don't show this and the builders' construction photos from other projects have the same mistake that I made. If the plans are followed in this regard, the lower wing attachment bolts will not be able to be inserted from the front.
