What do you guys think about this. I'm getting ready to take on a project taking a simple canard pusher enlarging it to a giant scale and putting a Ryobi on the back.
Any input or suggestions.
I all ready checked large pusher props are available from zinger.
What do you think

Bruce,
Sounds good to me. I am in the process of building a swept flying wing pusher, I plan to either put a Homey 25 or a Ryobi 31 on the back of it, depending on how big I go. I would suggest going to electronic ignition to get rid of all the weight you can since the engine is probably going to be behind the CG a ways. That's what I am going to do anyway. Good luck keep me posted how your doing, I'm interested in unusual projects. Ron

If you like, another option is to run a reed valve engine in the opposite direction by putting the ign timing on the opposite side of top dead centre with the same amount of timing, then you can run a conventional prop.
