Hank Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Sweet! But I can't help but think that if one of those engines quits then it quickly becomes a lawn dart! Not pointy enough at the front for that. Would you need an AMEL--Centerline Thrust to attempt flight in that there contraption? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aviatoreb Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 I found the plane I would buy I'm just not sure if it's an airplane or an extremely high speed lawn edger.. What is it? Does it fly? Two engines on a single shaft is cool. Tell us more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabremech Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 For me, I'd take the money and run away from Aviation. It's not the purchase cost but the maint and expenses that will eat up the lottery money long before I'm gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those wings are so short! OMG I hope there is not some person crazy enough to try and fly it. It looks more like one of those "what-if" airplanes my 16 year old son designs and flies inside of x-plane where no one gets hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1964-M20E Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 I don’t know the props look awful funny. Maybe they will work?? Also 50 gallons of water in the wings for cooling seems like a lot of weight to carry along just for cooling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's alright, he saved lots of weight by making the wings really short and really thin. ☺️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superfly Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 I would upgrade to a 6 seater to carry the family saratoga or Bo, but I would also add one of these for local area. http://www.aeromobil.com/ wouldn't need a courtesy car any longer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
