Thanks LM,
Yeah, I saw that it was a project and just wondered if there was a connection to the Praga as it looks very similar, but from your answer, it hasn't!
The nacelles look rather small and slim for piston donks, unless in fuselage and shaft driven? Maybe it's later and turbines?
I'm back to work now, will try and get back at breaktime, hope sombody else turns up, seems they are all on holiday or on business.
Edit to say Well done Ken

They are pusher pistons, with the nacelles buried in the rear part of the wings.
Do you want an OH or will you be back soon?
I'm sure Trevor will have something if you can't.

Well done HP,
I'm not here officially, but I saw LM's plight so I just scratched something together, fortunately, I spotted your new challenge before I posted it, now I'll have a chance to silhouette it better and then I'll have one up my sleeve!!
Back to work now
Seeya later

No, I mean that I only now see your post 
. Was answering "does not cheer me up".
I also mean that the plane is ugly
, and that it's a sport plane, not a racer.
Edit: I'm pen-tooling a photo now, stand by for proper silhouette with all the fancy bells and whistles.

There's also a photo of the one portrayed in the three-view, and it has round tail, prominent chin and no gear fairings...
However, the bulges on the sides of the nose are present also in the photographed and silhouetted one, they're just hidden inside the contour.
That means: horizontally opposed engine.
AFAIK, it has been fitted with powerplants ranging from 65 to 85 hp.
Note that this aircraft is, at least in some places, listed as experimental.
