Hi bill, i got the same ideas for a small craft, a side by side 2 seat, twin duct pusher of a mid mount subaru ej (a risky plane). My ideas for...

Mixed Flow In-line Fans Wasn't this a discussion on ducted fans? All of sudden it's a build thread?

900kg in our language, we in oz are only allowed 600kg for a homebuilt, this build is in oz so iron block is most certainly a no go. Well, I sure...

Hi Shep, have you considered an EL ford falcon engine? I have unreliable information of google that they weigh in at 195kg bare engine. At that...
