Hi Juke;
If the tailwheels steered with the rudders that would solve steering problem.

I solved it like this..it requires sidestick control like in F-16 since the lever to retract the gear is in the middle.

This steerable nosewheel is very simple and effective....been used in one groundeffect using AC before.

Tweedy got roomier

This is how I solved the sitting position...100 mm more space into cockpit...and it became sleeker and remained in old dimensions as being the smallest twin ever.

I am preparing 1/4 scale model of it soon...retraction mechanism will be ordered next.

Canard type control has been introduced along with the conventional...I assume it behaves more effectively like this.

All comments welcome.

rgds,

Juke

PS: Jet engines might add little bit speed into 300 mph region I assume;

Re: What is air racing ?

Hard to believe, but it has taken a year to develop this ac and I still don't have a model.

Here is what I have on a computer screen.

I am intentionally keeping it under wraps for a little while.

It looks like original Nemesis on side profile and X-15 from above...slightly.

---------------------------------

I unveil the secrecy off my "SKUNKS WORKS" a bit. Several years ago I drew the Mini-F-Racer ( for 2 automotive V-8s ). Based on that and Tweedy developement I did a R E A L R A C E R -design ( finally )...called Tweedy II R.

It is based on 2 APT 22 hp 2-stroke boxer and can be flown with either open or closed cockpit. Clipping the wings a foot per wing will make it the smallest twin ever ( Sorry mr.Colomban ! ).

Foil is NACA 65-412 => 65-409

Have a good one !

Special thanks to Locheed Bob...watching the SR-71 videos etc. helped..I think I overdid myself this time and brought you the best flying quality AC ever !

APT has promissed me 10% discount on these 196 cc engines; http://airpowertechnologies.net/APT_UAV_PriceList.html

( there are some inaccuracies in the datasheet...consumption at cruise is under 1 gallon at 65 % power and mtow is 230 kilos )

Here is the top view;
