For those of you unfamiliar with the Aeriks here are some

pictures.

With a 13B it ought to be FAST! REAL FAST!!

Looks a lot like the defunct Prescott Pusher of late ill fame.

Looks

nice tho, hope it flies better than the Pusher ever never did.

Marc Wiese

The pusher was direct drive with no shaft. Consequently it was

ultra

short coupled.

The Aericks test piloted reported excellent handling. You can get a

video CD or DVD from

Aeriks showing the flight testing.

Prescott pusher was a conventional plane, this one is a 3-surface

with

canard, like Piaggio.

Great to find you know so much about the Prescott Pusher. How many hours

do

you have in one?

To Boberrorusa.....in fairness to Marc.....you don't have to have any time

in an aircraft to recognize it's configurational differences.  I almost
purchased a Prescott Pusher years ago, because it reminded me so much of the
BD-5 aircraft that I admired, except that it was larger and had seating for
4.  It is, however very different configuration from a canard aircraft (You
can stall the Prescott Pusher).  (Yes, I have built and owned a
canard....just finished my second canard aircraft).   According to Mr.
Prescott, the flying characteristics are also different from a canard.  I
never got to fly the Prescott Pusher, only sat in it while talking to the
owner/designer.  Just going from what he told me.  Hope this helps.  Paul

Paul, you must be getting cloe to flying your 13B canard. How is
it coming?
