Really cool design... Lee sent me a drawing of it a while back and I did some sketch work with it but was never real happy with the motor and muffler placements. Will be interesting to see what you come up with. I like the wing and tail planform though.

Yes, I have some BIG concerns about trying to do a Q-40 version of a radial engined airplane. The largest cross section of a typical radial airplane is the engine cowling, which of course is right up front. Honestly, I don't know if the result of this little exercise will be satisfactory or not, but at least it will be interesting to see what happens.
