Some update on our Verner powered LE.  We have been testing a couple props from Frank Johnson, making modifications, etc.  The airplane flies great, but we are trying to maximize engine rpm, climb rate, cruise speed - all at the same time.  I know, we will have to comprise.

We were able to fly both our DE Stubby and LE Treehugger in formation and get some video from a helicopter.  Had a great time doing it.  Our radios were not cooperating, so we had to keep the flying real simple, but the result was great.  Here is the youtube link:



There airplanes are fun to fly!!

But is it smoooooooth?

Before building, I've been looking at every option, from a Hummel 1/2 VW, to a Polini Thor 250, and now this. Vibration is something of a concern, but I also think the obstructed view is going to be a major factor.  Is it worth it?
