Vance,

However, if you take your design, turn the engines around and put the

props in the front, that would be a neat airplane-- no concern about
dragging the props on the runway during takeoff and landing.  300 mph twin.

Bob - Normally I am a "tracter" person (Afriend of mine with a long EZ just
recently ate a gas cap with fortunately minor results) But with the small
diameter direct drive the base (or front bluff) area is easiest to
accomplish
with the pusher set up. Seating peop;e in front of the wing is attractive
also. Perhaps I will sketch up a version with rear engine front props.
