 I plan to put one in a Midget Mustang.

 Thanks,

 That is a real packaging challenge.
 A 2 rotor with cooling system would be a lot to shoe horn everything in.

 A p-port one rotor might be a better idea.

 Do you have a 3D dwg program?

 --  Hi!: when looking at the Mustang wing from above, its shape reminded
me somehow that of the sea MantaRay fish; as it was show that the advantages
of the swept-back wing at high speeds were preservend in its inverted version,
with the tips of wings advanced relative to the root, as in the Blanik sailplanes,
the doubt came into my mind about if an inverted Delta wing would give the
same results at high speeds of the receding leading edge has, but having also
the advantages an straight line leading edge of the wing gives for low-speed
manoeuvrability, as in take-offs, and more important, landings.

I attach, I'd really like having somebody considering this desing for a homebuilt
aircraft project, the three view plan of the 1937 Raoul Hoffman flying wing,
inspired in the flying half-discs Arup designs, my only doubts are that low aspect-ratio
wings do have a worse drag-lift ratio at low speeds, probably at any speed, than high
aspect ratio wings, remember the U-2, and if this shape can induce the airplane
turning upside down, or making other uncontrolled movements on landing, because
of the ground effect, some kind of a ricochet of the air send down by the airplane
making a rebound on the ground and discontrolling the aircraft, as these special
flying wings had a very low landing speed, but landing and descent was made in
a very steep angle, the idea of the ground effect turning upside down the airplane
came to me while watching a Sci-Fi movie, where a planet called 'Gomorr' was
engaged in a war.

Anyway, I really like the R Hoffman and Arup designs, as you know, all can be watched
in actual flight in YouTube.
Enjoy it, and please let us know your oppinions.
Best regards.  Salut †
