This is the very type of request that would make me stay clear of a forum if I were a known aircraft designer.
Someone said on here "will go easy on you Dale" Making a request like the above is going in an abrupt 180' from going easy.
Now TommyB you should think first before you make such request. Number one would how predictable and rhetorical and bloody vague is that question.
To make a true analysis of someone else's design.You would have to make sure that they have active interest for solicitation of such a project and you would have to supply comprehensive drawings and math. Then it would require that person that you have solicited "advise" from to invest an enormous amount of time to pour over your information to make a serious opinion of the design OR marketing of that design.

Another thing is everyone and every design is different Just because you may get bad opinions of your design doesn't mean that it won't work, Well that is if you aint no wacko that hasn't done his homework or your serious about making turning your family car into a jetson mobile.

Just think of what many people thought of a Lazair when they first saw one, I bet you there was more than a few eyebrows raised in doubt.

If you want some real information about "your design" make a mock up, test it as a model, post photo's of it in forums. There are a thousand concepts that come and go and you have define your goals, Is it going to be plans or kit or is it going to be a one off.
The only real way of doing it is build it, fly it and take it too airshows. even then you better put far more effort into production and financial planning than you did in designing or you'll be wasting time effort and money.
