We have several I think. Don Dunbar's in Perth is the most famous.
How do you like that carbon fiber turtle deck?

Paul,

That's definitely the most unique version I've seen.  With the turtle

back and the work he has done on the fairings it looks like "go fast".
Whose hefty-looking redrive is that?

Bob

That is a homemade drive using the Ford A4Od planetary gear set and
the stock bell
housing.

Check out Kent Paser's Mustang II, though a Lyc powered one, it is still one
fantastic ship!
He also sells a book "Speed with economy", a LOT of info, about cooling and
drag reduction!
He also put on a turtle deck,but his is aluminium.
Just recently I read, that in certain cases, it is actually lighter to build
in alu!!
E.g. the production ailerons and flaps for the ADAM 500 (or was it 600?)
will be made out of alu, for less weight and ease of construction. And that
from a carbon-fanatic!
