Beech model 18 in comparison !

I found a nice plane; http://www.twinbeech.com/images/beech-18.jpg

Beech 18 is an oldie but pretty tightly packed...clearly Beech and Wells were no beginners. http://www.flightsim.com/main/review/beechmvy/beechmvy.htm

He-70 in same scale...

8 seater Tahiti cruiser with a lavatory !

At HBA site a question raised whether this can really deliver. With pair of DeltaHawk engines ( deliveries start at 2013 ) this could fly from LAX to HAwaii main Island in 9 hours and after a pit stop another 9 hour flight to Tahiti. Added lavatory will make the trip more enjoyable for families etc.

Water closet could also work as place to warm a cup of coffee or even heat a meal ( at a small microwave and a coffee maker on a shelve above the water sink ). A bit less luxurious still than this, but 20-120 mph faster than H.P.42 in 1919; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCLoecW2VzM&feature=relmfu

Insane economy and speed with a diesel engine

DeltaHawk 200hp diesel for IO-2 ?

Looks really good; http://www.deltahawkengines.com/econom00.shtml This engine with this consumption would make IO-2 go as economical as with ULS 912, but travelling at 260 mph...70-80 mph faster than with 100 hp ROTAX. It is also smaller in size than the TIO-360; http://www.deltahawkengines.com/aboutdeltahawk.shtml

IOs big sister AEON !

I had to come with a ½ sized IO-2. This has many features I always looked for..also payload and room enough for golf equipment.

It look sreally really good...and AEON has a good chance to become built too as it is the structural and aerodynamical scaled down model of the transport/utility plane IO-2.

Tail volumes checked in Daniel Raymer way !

According to Daniel Raymer the twin ought to have 0,8 TVC for the elevator and 0.07 for vertical. I'd be pleased to hear any further info on this..to me the verticals are too big now.

Since I have planned to have fertilazion , parachutist, sight seeing, ambulance and even taxi flight serveces with this I have put more than 0,8 for the elevator too. Edit: Now they are ok !
