I understand it’s a flapped wing, which is interesting in itself on a canard, but with the flaps down I don’t see that rear prop doing much beyond 30% of what it’s capable of. Just a guess of course. It’s got two small engines, you might well get the same or better performance from a single O-200 if you’d have a good place to mount it.
