farri Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 I know! There`s no comparrison between the two but as I recall, the concept of the Wheeler Scout came from the mast and sail of a boat. It did fly. With modern technology and materials, the concept should be feasible. Frank.
facthunter Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 Way out all right. Think the guy might be more of a sculptor or interior decorator than an aeronautical engineer. As a seaplane it would want some pretty flat sea. I'll give it a miss, thanx.. Nev
farri Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 I think we all know that everthing starts from an idea and a prototype,however,it doesn`t necessarily follow that the idea will be a sucess but nothing ventured,nothing gained. I got the impression that once on the water the wings would become a sail. Frank. Ps, At the moment, we have a complete whiteout and it`s raining. Went flying yesterday afternoon but I doubt i`ll be able to fly today.
