I've got a picture of a long Ez w/ the twin engines
on it[in kitplanes mag]. There was a guy in England I believe who built it. Had
two small motorcycle [I think] engines on it, pusher style looked sleek but I
don't think it had the ponies in it to be a show stopper [unlike if it had 2
single rotors]. I could look up the kitplanes issue if your interested. It
didn't have a write up, just the owners name and a picture.

Btw anyone want to know the issue that I had
mentioned earlier about aux fans to force air into rads that are buried in wings
or nacelles. I've found the info so give me a shout.

Not a chance in hell, Rusty. The
structure to hold an engine at the front simply isnt there. It would be
a VERY major redesign, and would probably end up too heavy to fly. On top
of the that, the weight and balance would be all wrong. I think the best way
to put 2 engines on an EZ would be in pods on the strakes.
