There is no concern, it is that I learned of a Sopwith product which I didn't previously know about.Could you be more specific to see how I can help you or respond to your concern? Thanks, Motocar

Or the TL;DR version,
The Gnu is new to me.
Gotta wonder if the prop got enough airflow to move the thing.Cutaway Stewart "Puffin" ultraligh aeroplane
Podded pushers always suffer problems with delivering smooth airflow to the propeller.Gotta wonder if the prop got enough airflow to move the thing.
And also connects to that thing about how parts which do not exist will not fail.One possible solution is extending the propeller shaft, but that also adds another dozen opportunities for torsional vibration.
I have been after that schematic cut for a long time, I keep reviewing and searching, it is a matter of time to locate a quality one. greetingsAre there any cutaway of Jak-52?
