Join The growing list of EMG-6 builders

By becoming a member you have access to all of the construction drawings that are currently available. Although all of the drawings on the builders database are currently open source, we will work directly with each of the builders to supply technical support and parts. In order to purchase parts for the EMG-6 you are required to have a builder serial number. The $500 is a very reasonable fee. It helps subsidize the enormous amount of effort put into the design and drawings that we post on the builders database. By becoming a platinum member the $500 fee for registration is waived.

Like the rudder assembly the horizontal stabilizer and elevator can be completed at any point in time, however they cannot be attached to the rest the aircraft until after completion of the fuselage boom and vertical stabilizer.

The ultralight version of the aircraft (UL) incorporates the use of a Dacron sailcloth type of construction.

The low drag ( LD) version of the aircraft incorporates the use of Poly Fiber type covering system (Dope and fabric).

Wings

The construction of the wings are fairly simple, but because of their size they are normally reserved for one of the last things that we will assemble on the aircraft.
