 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,

Are you interested in copying the ducted fan airplanes landing gear
exactly?
Perhaps you are interested in the principle of the mechanics so you
can design
the components yourself?

My Seawind has a similar bent gear design that folds into the
fuselage and
wings.  I have hard copy illustrations of all the parts.  I've
won't be using
the parts and have redesigned my gear to fold into the wings. Those
components
will be much too heavy for your plane.

You bet can you send me some info on those gear please.

Thanks
Tony

Doug,


I'd love to see how you are doing your wing landing gear. I am not going
to use the designed gear for my cozy 4 even though I already have it
built. So the fold in the wing gear is what I want, and will build my
own if it looks possible.

Thanks!
