The Model 100 Adventure’s simplicity of operation is equaled only by its simplicity in construction: a modern higher performance sandwich-composite structure. The materials and working techniques are descendants of Rutan’s VariEze technology. The Adventure is a stunning performer with a combination of high-speed cruise, slow stall speeds, and good climb performance. The general configuration is a single-seat, low mid-wing, tractor-monoplane with fixed tricycle landing gear. The aircraft can be powered by any of the Continental Motors A- or C-series engines of 65 to 85 hp, driving a fixed-pitch wooden propeller. The wing is a two-piece assembly to minimize the space required to build and to facilitate its removal from the fuselage. The fuselage is built from flat sheets of half-inch-thick polystyrene foam and is constructed from the inside out. The canopy is a single-piece free-blown unit.
