Do you have a DXF file on this as it will save me some drawing, I will

send my project back after I finalise the design.

I live in Perth Western Australia and I would be happy to have you down

under.

I have attached two photos of my project, the plug was moulded this week

and I expect to remove the mould in the morning.

Regards Don

That is going to be a cool looking airplane Don.
Yes I will zip up a bunch of DXF's from ACAD 11 and send them to you.
Perth is more of a problem as I would have to get a non UAL flight
from Sydney. Possible however. I might be able to talk my wife
into coming along. Been bugging her to come to Aus with me.

Thanks once again Paul.
My project started as a Cozy Mk4. After looking at the construction of the
fuselage I could see so many hours rubing down and final preperation that I
decided to mould the whole thing. I used my Hull design programe to design
the new fuselage and faired it to obtain the best resistance.
I added 5" at the elbows which are in the strakes and 3" headroom over the
pilot, this allows you to sit more erect and makes more space in leg room.
I am using carbon fibre with norex lamination, the weight saving will be
considerable.
If I make any more changes I will have rename it, we have a large bird in
Australia called the Wedge Tail Eagle?

Really looks good Don. Big market in the states for a molded
canard fuselage like this.

I'll take this opportunity to send you yet another picture of
PSRU's. This is a Power Sport psru with the large diameter output
shaft/prop flange  on the left. Note the bolt holes in the end of the shaft
that attaches it to the ring gear bulkhead. In their case
this is not a planetary but an internal spur gear design.
