The configuration I am describing is that of the seawind but smaller like the Eurocopter with an engine instead of the electric motor.
There are many examples with electric motor: IFB-Stuttgart E-Genius - Wikipedia
Sunseeker: SUNSEEKER DUO - Solar Flight
Windex: Radab Windex - Wikipedia
The tractor prop arrangement is in clean air, can use a large prop, low undercarriage, easy ingress, quiter cabin, cleaner front for low drag, and excellent all around visibility.
Two issues/cons are apparent; flutter & added weight at the back but cant this be mitigated in a pod and boom configuration using a large constant diameter single Aluminum tube front to back and hanging everything on it with hidden engine mounts inside tail feathers. It makes a good fit for adding electric motor with batteries in the fuselage as the battery weight decreases over time but I digress.
So are there any 2 seat kits available for this configuration?
