T-100D Mariah Prototype
AAC is proud to make available once again after a 20+ year absence, the Gene Turner designed T-100D Mariah ultralight. It is exciting and an honor for us to support Mariah and to breathe new life into this design.
Mariah was designed by Gene to meet or exceed FAA FAR Part 23 airworthiness standards, standards to which “true airplanes” are built in the USA. Mariah is an ultralight designed under the same standards that Cessna and others use to design their certified airplanes. Gene as an aeronautical engineer, designed aircraft to meet or exceed Part 23 standards, his design approach to Mariah was no different from any other aircraft that he designed even though Mariah was to be an ultralight air vehicle. Mariah was one of the first "airplane” style ultralights in that it was not a hang glider with an engine attached, it does not have single surface wings, it does have a cockpit enclosure, and employs three axis controls rather than spoilers that were common at that time in Ultralight development.
Mariah is a true ultralight and qualifies under the US FAA FAR Part 103 regulations. It is a high-wing design, has twin tail booms and tails, steel tube landing gear, and a pod type fuselage. The prototype used a 20 hp Cuyuna 215 engine in a pusher configuration as the power plant. Construction is of wood (Spruce or Douglas Fir), steel for landing gear, some fiberglass parts, birch plywood, and fabric cover. The plans consist of 26 pages of "D" size (2' x 3') sheets of detailed drawings and information, 16 pages of Bill of Material (BOM) information printed on 11" x 17" paper, and a construction and information manual.
The plans may be purchased using US funds in the amount of $225.00 plus:

U.S.P.S. Priority Mail to Continental US: $15.00

ATTENTION
We have decided to reimburse up to two Mariah builders the $250.00 or the new lowered amount of $225.00 cost of their Mariah plans if they finish building and fly their Mariah by end of year 2010. This will give the current builders and plans holders two years to get their plane built and flown. We will need pictures of the finished plane in static and flying forms to be used for promotional purposes. It would be nice to get an article written for the EAA, USUA, or other aviation related publications. Good luck to all! NOTE: Time is running out on this refund offer. Once this offer expires, it will never be offered again.
The plan sets will be shipped out insured, rolled rather than folded, and will be placed in a shipping tube for protection. We do not charge a handling fee, the shipping price is the cost required to send the plans. You may use personal checks (must clear our bank), US Postal Money Order, Certified Check, or Cashiers Check for payment purposes. Note: Georgia residents must add 7% sales tax.
