That's rather swish isn't it. I had to laugh at the average age of the crowd. The wife would say they're all boring old gits like me :lol:

Dave, maybe you are an old git like me (except I am even older), but I disagree with the boring bit! ;) :lol:

Just a bit put off by the pusher prop and canard. I'm a stick in the mud, and though I can see some advantages of a rear engine, give me a traditional layout any time. OK there were a few pushers around in 1916, but I don't see them as "traditional."

BTW Nigel, how many musical performances to reach 100 monkeys? :rock: *-)
Cheers, Mike.

It looks like a rather less elegant copy of Bert Rutan's vari-eze, one of which I flew a few times about 30 years ago . That did have a more conventional power unit however ( O200 IIRC ) and was certainly quieter !
