I would be interested in the stall and stability characteristics of this Synergy plane and so would the designers. I cant wait to see the proto fly and hear about its performance.
It does pitch up enough on the first one to stall, or at least an abrupt drop through. After that it "falling leafs" to a stable condition after successive smaller oscillations.
You can see how the diesel engine is doing in other airframes. That is the exciting part for me, the diesel. I got my hopes up when Zoche was in development and testing, only to have it all evaporate.
I kept seeing a pair of those 300 HP beauties on the wings of the 310.
