from the replies i've received the only thing i can see wrong with my

with some planning. instead of posting something stupid like this why
not give reasons why i'm TOTALLY off base.

I think cooling was mentioned also. And, those pesky details are not
trivial. I believe you also stated that your objection to Lycon is cost.
The knowledgeable people here have pointed out that you will spend *far*
more engineering your own airplane and powerplant than you would by
buying off the shelf. I don't think they're referring to percentage, but
orders of magnitude.

And then you alluded - in a somewhat mocking tone IMO - to some new
ideas you have for a wing. I think you can understand why it might be
easy for some of us to assume you're a troll. You might be some sort of
engineer, as you claim, but without the merest hint of any background in
aviation, that isn't going to buy you much in the real world.

Now, this is RAH, so I'm not going to suggest that you're off base. But
chatting here isn't research. Go spend several thousand hours studying
the issues, and then come back with *specific* questions based on a real
understanding. Even the Wright brothers started by learning everything
they could about what everyone before them had done.

I'll give you one "out." If your objective is to design the next Moller
skycar in order to bilk investors, then of course you don't need any
real understanding of the issues at all. That's an objective that
requires a completely different set of skills.
