Hello group, If you know of anyone looking for a 20B I have one still for sale. I hate to let this project go but I just don't have the time to finish it right now and it needs a good home. Thanks Tom

I'm currently building/finishing a BD-4. I'm a member of "the" BD4 forum.bd-4.org. There are a couple of guys over there looking for BD's to finish and fly. So if you decide to sell your project it would be a good place to start. Free to post to classifieds over there. I was thinking about powering mine with a rotary but for now have decided to stick with a Lycoming O or IO-360. If anyone here knows of any 360's complete, parts, running, basket case or otherwise I'm interested.
Interestingly I also researched the Dyke before settling on the BD4.

I have a set of Dyke Delta plans. Lots of great ideas in them and many I
thought of. Probably many thought of by others. A real race car fuel cell will
fit in that space and never leak. Ford now makes thousands of small light V-6s
that racers turbo up to 600 HP. Same for the BD-4. Add width, Add my method of
flap actuation, Add a stretch. Add a skylight. Add some headroom, Add span with
Deemer tips.
Perhaps a 3 rotor 20B engine. Conventional gear in a stronger box. Wheel
pants with the closing doors.
Burt Rutan did one for Jim Bede that held some FIA records. The BD-4C flys
like a dream. Construction and flight footage on Youtube..Jim also liked the
idea of a low wing BD-4.........Lynn E. Hanover I am only 74, so I have
lots of time.
