Jean-Claude,

Thanks for the correction there mate. I was running on memory when I wrote that article and was sure no matter which way I put it I would get it wrong. Thats Murphies law for you eh!!

i know twould take away all that is placed on the plane itself but what about right thrust do you still need to add right thrust to a counter rotating motor?

no right thrust with the counter rotating props. right thrust is put in as a measure to minimise the propellor slip stream effect. Cant remember where it was, but read a article by George Hicks about props. sure if you google it you will find something.

no more right thrust, no more funky throttle-rudder mixing..Probly reduced Rudder elev coupling at least in one direction.... I have been waiting for this!

[ULTIMATE1]

That thing sounds cool Turbopropish definetly!!!!!!!!!! Just think of how easy you could 3d with no factor of torque wanting to pull the plane to the side and make it want to spin ?

Kiwi,
I am the editor for the small magazine in the U.S. called the K-Factor.. Can I have your permission to print your writeup it the magazine? I found it very interesting and well thought out, and I think many others will also..
I for one thank you for taking the time to do it!!

Thanks,

Chris

So you want some more shots??


My late father always taught me never to use all the worms on the first cast when you go fishing. So I figured it was better to get the Bass interested before using the biggest and juiciest bait.

Here's some new photos never before published mate.

And a few more to keep the masses at peace.
