  1. We have a good design for a contra rotating prop hub that we will develop ,that will allow two 35 ins. Dia props which will place the engine bulk lower, but even in its current configuration the vertical c/ g is at head height.
  2. Thanks,l got sick of having no transport at some ,if not most of the airports around,it fits a yammy.200 agg. Bike or such.
  3. its going to be an amphibious craft at stage three ,after the retractable undercarage is designed(got any light weight designs lying around? ) l have balanced the forces with careful and calculus positioning of the engine thrustline &c/g ,tail incidence,ect,ect,and the fuse will contribute to lift in front of c/p of wings.(building is a compromise,theres no ware else to put the motor,and keep the weight down to 328 kgs empty.) When l started the idea we were all expecting 760kg. Weight increase to happen .Mike.
  4. I have placed a float sensor in the sump x 2 one set at 2 lts. and the 2nd at 500 mlt so that will reduce the frequency of top UPS ,.checking the level before each flight is done using the ladder type step that also doubles as a ramp for loading the motor bike.
  5. Avocet THANKS JOHN ,I'VE ENLISTED ONCE MORE ,THANKS FOR POSTING PHOTOS,. cheers Mike.
