ground effect. What was that wankle good for... 50 hp?

The hydaulic drive is workable, though you will lose some efficiency.

I'm wondering why you chose to have 2 propellers. They will be less
efficient than a single propeller, unless perhaps you stagger them to make
a
contra-rotating prop like many marine drives use.

Why 2 propellers? Because the Skymaster was an in-line twin. The
mini-master flew on two 65 hp Rotax engines. I was hoping to do the same
'cept with a single 200-250 hp rotary and a pair of 75 hp motors.

Someone else mentioned; If the props weren't turning, you could drive it
with small motors mounted in the wheels. Taxi with no prop blast.
