You have square banana's?

Dont think the forward vis would be much and the Gyro effect would be rather large i would think. Apart from that i like!

Composite prop won't give a lot of gyro. Weight, diameter of the heavy parts and RPM are what counts. Plenty of T/Ds have not a lot of Vis forward till the tail is up. Tailwheel suits the concept of the plane. Nev

I agree about the concept and was more talking about the rather longish nose and quite a low tail. As for the prop, i had never given a thought as to the weight! Cheers Nev

It IS a longish nose and that is not a particular advantage as far as I can see. Obviously it would be tail heavy with the rotax UNLESS it was that long. Nev
