Old Koreelah Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 ...That is one case for direct drive engines, the lower revs do make less disturbance IMO. ... and a side-valve engine would be naturally rev-limited! Prop noise is a challenge. I like ducted fans, and I'm toying with a channel-wing design (drawn on the back of envelopes) which would keep the people underneath happy.

bexrbetter Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 .., and I'm toying with a channel-wing design (drawn on the back of envelopes) All the best designs start on the back of a napkin etc! You should start a thread with the idea, I am interested for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in a similar discussion on another forum months ago, but I've misplaced my drawings. Napkins are a bit upmarket for paupers like me. I have often got carried away on paper tablecloths in the sort of restaurants I can afford. One night I was midway thru a complex design when my other half pointed out that it was a real, dinky di tablecloth- and biro doesn't easily wash out. Cured me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty_d Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 $250, $25 surcharge for the wig and wooden spoon. A niche market I would have thought, but then again, humanity is a broad church. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
