http://www.ultralightflyer.com Dan Johnson talks to Greg Westberry of Westberry Manufacturing about the Thatcher CX -- 4 single seat experimental light sport aircraft and the soon to be released CX 5, during the EAA Sun N Fun convention held at Linder Regional Airport in Lakeland Florida.

Greg is producing kits for the Thatcher CX 4. He is also preparing kits for the Thatcher CX 5 a tandem seating two seat experimental aircraft. The kits that Greg is producing are manufactured using CNC equipment, with matched hole drilling for easy parts alignment.

This type of building process means that all of the holes are predrilled and all of the metal comes pre-bent. This means no jigs are needed to build the aircraft as the parts act as the jigs when they are clecoed together.

Building from plans using raw materials will take between 900 and 1000 hours to complete. Building from kits will cut this building time to more than half.

The Thatcher line of aircraft were been designed by Dave Thatcher for first time homebuilders, with no special tools or knowledge required.

Dave aircraft mechanic, designer and builder is in his 80's and has been involved in aviation since his youth. Both the Thatcher CX 4 and CX 5 are all metal aircraft powered by Volkswagen aircraft engine conversions.

Currently there are over 40 CX 4 aircraft flying with approximately another 50 in various stages of completion.
