I am much of a lurker here but...It seems to me that a lot of the
naysayers are missing the point that you are proposing to drive -two-
props with -one- motor. There should be at least a break even if not
a savings in weight over -two- motors driving two props. I like
considering off the wall projects and have attempted a few myself,
mostly failures.


Actually, I'd charaterize it as driving two props with three motors.
Two hydraulic motors direct driving the props and one motor driving
the hydraulics.

I think a mechanical drive, like the chain drive the Wright Bros used,
would be more efficient.
