Thanks for the responses. I guess stating my purpose better at the onset would have helped, so here it is.
I am not very concerned with the design complexity as I am a machine designer with solid modeling and FEA software. The drive I can handle. I was hoping to gain some knowledge of the...
What are the advantages and disadvantages to counter rotating props (one just in front of the other)besides complexity and cost. I am considering using such a setup to have a twin engine setup in a single engine airplane.

Would someone send me an Alibre step assembly file. I am curious to see how SolidWorks converts it. Will do same for anyone.

Very broad question. Are you talking pusher ultralight vs. tractor ultralight or RV vs Velocity or ?
Things that might not be an issue in an ultralight might be a big deal in a 4 place high performance airplane.
Are you looking at buying, building or desiging your own?
What would be major...
The fuel tanks will be leading edge tanks and will be the shape of the airfoil. The wing skin will then be over the tank but has nothing to do with the tanks except that. It would be no trouble to cover the tank with a parting agent and let the skin float or to bond it to the tank. Any opinions...
I am building aluminum fuel tanks for my KR2 and was thinking about adding a layer of fiberglass over the outside of the alum. Would the difference in the expansion rates cause any problems. The tanks are about 5 ft. long and the epoxy is vinyl ester if that has any bearing.
