This is a 64" wingspan Long EZ, powered by an OS91 2 stroke using a 14-6 pusher prop. As you can see from the video, the choice is to fly from asphalt or grass, but not from a gravel field. It may be possible to put "mud flaps" on the front wheel, and to use a 3 blade prop of smaller diameter. The plan flies nicely, and surprisingly needs a lot of rudder to turn normally.
