It is 100% for rudder auth= ority on single engine. When you go single engine on non centerline thrust y= ou are basically throwing full rudder to counter the yaw.

I will be the cynic here, in their specs they are listing a fue= l burn of 12 gph at Eco cruise. I don't think I have ever been able to get a= n IO 320 to burn 6 gph - but that was single eng.

Also curious about performance with single engine when close to gross w= eight and or high density altitudes. Claiming 320fpm but there is an asteris= k that is not explained.

There are definite times t= o having more than one engine. Over water being the most important but I am n= ot sold on the comments about night flying or IMC single engine.

It will definitely be a cool project to watch grow though. And= two nicely tuned 180hp Mazdas would make this a great aircraft for sure.

Maybe for a bit more rudder authority in case of one engine out?

How weird to see a velocity with a vert stab.&n= bsp; Wonder why they changed the configuration.

It's a kewl plane. I got to see it when I was at the factory last month= for transition training.
