We currently have a molded, composite vertical tail and are in work on stabilizers, etc. Additional parts will be made available as the program progresses. Q: Has anyone done calculations on the Flexidyne/shaft system for maximum horsepower (I’m looking at using a rotary engine derivative approx. 130/140hp). Not to our knowledge. The drive system seems to have been designed empirically rather than theoretically or through detailed calculations. If you intend to put a larger engine in the aircraft than originally intended you MUST do your own design and testing on a ground test stand to ensure that your proposed installation is safe and airworthy.
