I saw it at the 1996 Oshkosh Airshow and I was worried about having x kgs of
engine being able to wag your tail especially in a ground loop.
If it is still flying 11 yrs later, that must not be a significant problem.

I think one of the most amazing things I saw at the Avalon Airshow was
something called the Windex (or something along those lines, not too sure if
it's right, can someone correct me?).
It was a yank fella who had gotten this wee glier, about 8- 10 meter
wingspan, and had shoved a three cylinder radial engine in it, ON THE FIN. Did
some amazing aero's too. (Eg. a dive down from above a thousand feet, pulling
out at 160knots, which was Manouvering VNE, and flattening out a couple of
hundred feet above the ground.)
Amazing stuff. Worth it if you could getonto him me thinks.
