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

Paul Lamar

Hi, Paul....it is finished.....the wings are already at the airport....I am
just waiting for a friend who has a trailer to help me move the fuselage to
the airport.  There I have enough room to put both wings on at the same time
(can't do that in my 2-car garage) so that I can fit the cowling,  and it's
time to fly. Engine runs/idles very well.  Paul Conner
