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

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
