Jim Richardson's old Extreme Ettore sported the same inline setup also as you can see in this pic.

It looks like the motors are sitting face to face. That would help ballance out the tork of the engins. Very Cool

Talk about cutting edge stuff.... inovative to the hilt!!! Running the engines like that changes the rotation of the props without different gears like on a Speedmaster.... cool! Some one started with a clean sheet of paper with that design.... Yay!!!

A lot easier, more reliable and cheaper than building counter rotating motors. If you ask me.
