Thanks. Interest? Not just homebuilts, but "off beat stuff".
About the Terrafugia. I don't like the rear wheels, but then again, it has to be roadable.

Time for a hint.
One source said, that the plane was powered by a Lawrance L4 engine, although the drawing shows a horizontally opposed engine. It was offered ready-built and as a kit.
