Have you math whizzes figured out how far the wing runner will have to run

Well, we've got a name for the project!

Project Dog Whistle. LOL

And Bill rightly points out that if the thrust
is behind the CG, any yaw at low speeds means
a ground loop on takeoff unless the tailwheel is
firmly tracking.

One more reason why the twin Cri-cri version had it
right, with the two engines well ahead of the
CG, and with exhaust away from anything that might burn.
