With the Model 1 proving to be a failure, Paulus Aviation turned to it's first successful racer for inspiration: A loaned Gee Bee Model R. The result was the Model 2, designed around the biggest propeller possible for the engine and landing gear. It ended up suffering from similar problems as the Model 1 until solutions could be found.
Note: Test pilots have determined 20% throttle is the limit for takeoff.

That tends to be my trend. And for its odd appearance, it's capable of over 700 mph.
Interesting design.
