 Any idea how I can find out some information on this airplane. I
need a drawing
 on the
 landing gear. I looked all over the web and the info is scarce at best.

 I have very little info. Just a few pictures.
 Performance was bad given the amount of HP it had.
 Not surprising for any ducted fan.
 The drag of the duct starts to outweigh the advantages starting around
 130 MPH and up.

Though I do appreciate your response with performance graphs and
drag COE for ducted fans.
My quest is for the LANDING GEAR......... Not the ducted fan or any
other aspects of this airplane.
I thought maybe somebody in the group may know someone in the
Thailand area that could snap a few pics for me of the LANDING
GEAR......  if not may have to fly there myself and have a look.

There are other people on here that might be interested once they
see a picture
of such an unusual airplane.

The landing gear is straight forward and used by several other
airplanes.
It simply rotates 90 degrees up into the wing along a longitudinal axis.
The same as the ME109 except the ME109 legs are straight.

Tony,   If you are looking for a fusaloge retractable gear how about the
piaggio 180.  There is also the revised and simplified version of the
quesair venture. The gear pictured on the ducted fan is similar to that
of many amphibian kit airplanes which might alow purchasing some
components as well.
