Jorge,

 

Space for the spinner between the engine and firewall can be a problem, but
the real tough nut to crack is finding clearance for prop swing through its
full circle.  It's probably just an engineering problem that somebody with
Campbell soup letters behind their name has already figured out.

Yes
 I’ve heard it Chuck; just jealousy because we are bold
 truly
experimental aviation spirit.  

While non-canard aviators try to stabilize their ships by using the wings’
downwash on their stabilators, we use our canards as wing area for lift in
the front and Fowler flaps as elevators.  How’s that for efficiency?  

Of course we can figure out our engine goes in the back alright!   

By the way, I am having problems of space mounting my engine (not a
Builder’s Moment).  My spinner will not fit between the engine and the
firewall (puzzled!).  Is there an adapter I can use; maybe 90° or something?
How have you already flying Velo pilots dealt with this?  Pictures would be
greatly appreciated
..! 

Jorge

 

PS.  Great article Andy!

Andy,

 

Yes, very erudite and comes closest to the inexplicable, inexpressible and
unexplainable satisfaction that comes from building, fixing and flying.
Unlike driving, talking on the phone and other mundane life activities that
we engage in because we must, building and flying is something we engage in
because we want to.  It is the differences between paying taxes and giving
to a charitable cause--both reduce our treasury, but the voluntary one is
always imminently more satisfying.

 

The thoughtfulness and intelligence evidenced in your article will help
dispel the notion that canard builders aren't smart enough to figure out
which end of the plane the engine is supposed to go on!!!
