It is the quickie that has the wheels on the wing tips, my bird is a
dragonfly
mark II which is a tail dragger with a hoop type front landing gear
mounted to
the center of the forward wing.
I was planning a couple pneumatically actuated airbrakes that pop up
behind the
rear wing on each side of the top fuselage, as this is a very
aerodynamically
clean bird to bring to a stop.
I am also planning to invest in a ballistic recovery parachute for the
whole
plane.
From the lists discussion I am leaning more toward a single rotor
turbocharged,
turbo compounded when we get that figured out.........
I do have a nice municipal airport just 10 miles away I will make use of
with a
paved strip, just nice to bring it home to my own barn for the winter.

Brent,
I would lean to the single P-port for your plane IMHO and avoid the weight
of a Turbo, unnecessary for a small slick plane like yours - I like all your
other options.
