I don't. Does that make me (and others who don't) a hopeless ignorant??

One important bit of wisdom I've learned over the years, hesham, is that one should never treat others as if they already know something.
If they know, you flatter their ego; and if they don't, you make them feel stupid.

Well I've to say to me he was ironic, but that was just my opinion .


My main question about this design is: Why? Why the pusher in the wings when he just can use 3 tractor propellers? Could be interesting to know more about the history of design.

Why do you call it "YM"? It is called the Gakkel X (here "X" as Roman "10")
