Very, very, very good! Incredible craftsmanship!

How about some information on the engine and prop combo. Thanks!

it is a Wankel type engine, which is 32 Kw.

basically a rotary type engine, as in the old Mazda's

but this one has a displacement of about 294 cc.
it is slightly more efficient than a piston engine.
produces 32 Kw at 7800 RPM.
i am not 100% certain, i did a calculation, and that is about 42 horsepowers!!!!!

a ZDZ 420 cc produces about 35 HP.

so the rotary is the way to go, based on that alone. i really do not know much about rotary's except from what i knew about Mazda's when i was a kid. very popular car in my neighberhood to soup up! they were Rx7

After seeing the vid.... I wonder if the prop will clear when the tail of the plane is up and it is rolling on the main gear?

Capt.Roll and I were talking about that at work today. He is going to be mowing grass on TO

 

[WMcNabb]

Had the exact same thought. 3 point take offs and landings only!

But they will be Awesome!!

 

[Mikeq]

Yep 3 point ...not much clearance if any while the tail us up....looks like he had trouble holding it back revving the engine...powerful engine for sure...

 

[rcpilotacro]

yep +1, prop clearance will be an issue, overall, aeroplane should sit high, nice and high, with enough room for prop to swing and, majestically

 

[stangflyer]

I dunno....I think he is gonna be just fine. I mean after all, throw the throttle, hold a little elevator...... Four inches later, straight up.
