Does it have two engines - or is the rear prop just freewheeling?

It has 2 engines. If I remember correctly 85cc in the front and a 45cc in the middle on a drive shaft.

Evan Q.

I figured there must be a drive shaft there, if there's an engine for the rear prop. 3ft driveshaft is one challenge I'd leave to anybody else but me...
Electric would be easy

Awesome work Evan, it was inspiring to see the DO-335 fly.
