      Looks pretty good. It is a good sign that the price of used rotary
      powered airplanes is going up :-) I have not wasted my time for the
      last 18 years :-)

      I think that was built by Rino Lacomb. Here are some more pictures.

     What's the 'hidden issue' with this plane?
     The wing structure construction, or??? I may be interested!!

     As I recall Rhino was not have any unusual problems.
     I got the impression he was a very knowledgeable engineer.

Could an issue with the glass goose be the biplane planform being a lot
draggier with any increase in speed, same idea as trying to make a
stearman go fast, needs loads of horsepower to overcome extra drag. The
2 wings airflow intersecting acts like one large venturi.

There's a section in a YouTube video that well ("Why it goes so fast" ,
the AR5 by Mike Arnold

Most of the biplane drag comes from the wires and struts. The glass
goose does not have those.

The biggest aero problem is the passenger cabin is too short and or too
wide so the air separates along
the sides. There is no fix for this other than cutting it in half and
taking a chunk out of the middle and
turning it in a tandem :-)

Here is my sea plane design that fixes that :-) The Italians invented it
in the 30's and flew them
all over the world. Retractable hydro foils. With a 500 HP turbo rotary
it will get out of
the water lickey  split.

Here is the best hydro-foil  video after many days of trying and spending a lot of time
at the beach last summer  :-)
