A neighbor of mine suggested a NACA report about simplified propeller design written by Fred Weick (designer of the Ercoupe, among other work) and while I was searching the database I found the attached report. Given the thick wing and the testing of both tractor and pusher configurations I thought some of you might enjoy it, too.

Rick,
I finally got through it. Interesting reading. Thanks for posting.

I don't recall ever seeing an airplane with wing mounted engine and extension shaft, either pusher or tractor, but there probably are some. The BD-5 comes to mind for fuselage mounted pusher with extension shaft.
