light twins?

Greetings,

What light twins exist now? What I'd like to have is something like the
AirCam, for 100 mph, carefree low and scenic flying. Actually, push/pull
symetrical thrust would be even better. The AirCam would be fine as is, if
I could get a kit that's made from traditional materials, rather than gold
as the price would suggest :-)

Cheers,
Rusty

Thanks Gordon,

I actually found that site yesterday, and the A-36 Vulcan would certainly
fit the bill. I have a message into Spectrum now to see if this is a real
product, or still in development. With any luck, it will be far cheaper
than the AirCam, though you wouldn't think so to look at both of them.

Cheers,
Rusty

Good luck, Rusty.

These little twins look very interesting to me. They claim the little
two-stroke twin is able to take off on one engine, which is a pretty
impressive feat.

I also like that they are aluminum construction and the wing is a long-span,
high aspect ratio design that should give a very good glide ratio. Looks
like thoughtful design throughout -- not surprising since I understand the
principals are engineers from Antonov.

Gordon.

I got a reply from Spectrum, and it wasn't quite what I expected. I had
mentioned in my original message that my interest was in putting two single
rotor Mazda engines on the plane. Unfortunately, they seem to be very
anti-experimental, and it was suggested that I "find some other design to
mess with...". Silly me, I thought it would be a perfect design to test
alternative engines. Needless to say, they won't be getting any of my
business.

Rusty,

Thanks for the update.

I hate that kind of attitude from vendors too. Oh well, if they don't like
the color of your money, it's their loss.

I'm intrigued by your twin-wankel idea. I appreciate the elegant simplicity
of the wankel design myself and try to keep abreast of what's happening in
the rotary avaition community.

When you say single-rotor, are you talking about a 13b that has been
shortened? I wonder too about the smaller displacement Mazdas -- you never
hear much about those, but I would assume they should be lighter than the
13b.

Regards,

Gordon.
