KR> Ivoprop?

[Willie van der Walt]

There has been a debate on this forum regarding any 3 blade props on ,direct
drive, Volkswagen engines. (If I remember correctly)The conclusion was that
it is not recommended due to resonance vibration. Check the archives.

Works well on a Rotax 912 but can not be used on a Volkswagen if it is a 3
blade.

Regarding tandem vs side by side design and drag.  In the late  
seventies I was a member of a design group that was a spin off from  
the local EAA chapter in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles.  
This group of about 30 persons was almost exclusively composed of  
working engineers in the local aeronautical industry (Lockeed   
Rocketdyne, Douglas, etc etc) The group decided to hold a contest for  
a wide bodied design with the grand prize being something like pie  
and coffee at Dennys.  You can see we were big spenders. A major  
surprise that appeared to many of the engineer designers was the  
small amount of drag increase with the wide bodies.  As a group they  
had expected large increases of drag as a penalty for the comfort of  
that extra space where in fact the increased drag was surprisingly  
little.

Me too!!!
BTW, as a former USAF avionic maintenance man, I have to report that you 
left out one of our favorite corrective actions:

KR> Tandem seating PT II

[Dan Heath]

I just happen to have a Long EZ project sitting in my hangar, including
plans.  The foam and glass priced out at around $3000 and that is what the
person who owns it, is asking for it.  If interested, go to the link below
and click on e-mail Dan.

See you at the 2009 - KR Gathering in Mt. Vernon, Ill

Don't forget.  You can find a VariEze that needs finishing and go to town
and finish it.  I had one and liked it very much. But the wife did not like
sitting behind me.  Go figure.
