Hi does anyone remember or have details on the amphibian designed by two Sydney university lecturers in the 1980's? It was a two seater with a full fuselage (Teal style) and a unique engine layout. The aircraft engine was mid-mounted inside the fuselage and the twin propellers were mounted on pylons behind the main wing. The propellers were belt driven by 4-5 inch wide belts. I can only find a tiny promo photo of it. I'd love to get some information on it. thanks Graham twin prop from sydney university.bmp

Hi Robin, I've just read of your fantastic aeroplanes VH-SGS & VH-SRS. I've been planning to build an aircraft for sometime. It'll now be a retirement project due to my other commitments in about 4 years. My original homebuilt desire was a modified Beachner with a Leyland/Rover V8 ans side by side seating. I bought the plans in 1984 and their so faded, I've been re-inking them and sketching it into CAD. However, as I live in England and flying to Europe is fraught with difficulty, I'd like a more economic trailerable aeroplane. Your VH-SRS fits the bill exactly. I've avidly read your articles on the modifications (size, structure, etc) and agree with them. Any chance of documenting these for us builders or may I offer to do it for you? All royaltes you way? regards Graham Essex, UK
