Lucky Stars ultralight aircraft, experimental amateur built aircraft.

In 2008 Mark Stull an ultralight aircraft designer, builder, and pilot demonstrated his Lucky II single place ultralight aircraft at Sun N Fun. The Lucky II was a cute little bi-plane in a pusher configuration, with a twin tail boom arrangement and was Mark's 4th design.

This year Mark arrived at Sun N Fun with a new design, the 7th he built, the Lucky Stars II.

The Lucky Stars II is a single seat aircraft, again in a pusher configuration but instead of a biplane the Lucky Stars II is a wire braced, high wing monoplane.

According to Mark he has been building different designs "looking for the perfect ultralight" and feels he may have it in his latest creation. Mark had felt the longer, wider wing added so much extra weight and required so much more strength that "you wouldn't come out ahead" but now that he has designed and built one he has found you "definitely do come out ahead!" "The 9.5 to 1 aspect ratio of the Lucky Stars II is so efficient I can hardly believe it!" "It shows up in every aspect of flight, it climbs like crazy, it cruises along at 50 mph on very little power, using only 1.6 gallons per hour.

Mark has had to derate the engine, install a throttle stop and use an oversized propeller to keep the plane under the legal part 103 speed limit. It stalls at 30 mph with no flaps and 22 mph with full flaps.

Mark indicates the craft weighs 225 lbs. and is rated for 3.5 g's positive an 1.5 negative.

It features aluminum tube rivet together construction, controls are standard aircraft controls, with right hand stick, left hand throttle and rudder pedals. Ground steering is via a steerable nose wheel. Mark has repowered his new design with a 340 Kawasaki two stroke engine using a belt reduction drive system. This has made the plane "really quiet and comfortable to fly."

Mark indicates that he has built a new plane every winter for the past 6 years, but this design has presented him with a problem. It flies so good that he doesn't know how to improve it.

While Mark has no plans on bringing the plane out on to the market, or in selling plans, he can be contacted by email at mstull@wtxs.net
