Anyone for one of these?

260hp?Most seem to have missed that 914's are only 115hp for 5 minutes...

= 230hp.

 

Also, from a design view, he's probably loosing/absorbing 15~20hp countering the very high thrust line..?

 

A motor on each wing would give him even better performance, but at the cost/risk of an asymmetric engine failure.

 

Everything is a compromise.

It states they are modified to 130 HP each so 260.

 

A little heavy too, nearly the same as C172, and that would go pretty good with that HP.

Looks like it's modelled on the Seabird Seeker.

Stone the crows guys, looks like I may have to reduce my order because I may loose several friends if I give them one of these. .Alan.

I've got a feelin' something is heading your way Alan !

Looks like some one recycled the front end of a tail wrecked Hughes.

What's the point? What's our LEGAL low level flight. USA and Canada may turn a blind eye to this sort of thing but Australia doesn't.....I hope. Yep, I agree it's fun but fly that plane at legal heights and it's boring.

Not correct...i was in the process of landing on that river...honest
