520 Sq In And 52 Span , so wouldnt be too hard to figure out something pretty close  . On Ebay today ( not me )



Mustve Hid that well , rather imaculate . Or was it a Time Traveller . 

Try as I might I have more than enough trouble getting one combat engine to sing the tune.. Two motors would certainly see me with fewer fingers....


jest sayin

The TT always looked like a fun, but not for a match.  It would be as bad as flying F2D with two motors in every match.

Anyway, just copy it as best you can from the parts.  If it balances where the plans seem to show, fairly close to the leading edge, that seems like a good place to start.

Two LA 15's or similar, and an electric starter would make it pretty workable.  You might be able to feed two motors off of one bladder.  That should do pretty well at stopping both at nearly the same time.  But if I was ambitious I'd use two metal tanks.  That would be easier to figure out for the first one and easier to handle.

Tried to fly? Tried? Twin BBTB OS25s, Twin Alfred E. Neuman pilots, twin stitches, the works! Flies like a dream. A real bad dream.   Very bad dream.  Nightmare.  Very stable, though.

WELL THATS A POSITIVE OUTLOOK , was there a problem .  



Did it try ' coming at you ' with the inboard mounted bellcrank   ?

maybe it needs trimming .   You dont entirely recomend it , then  

Actually ive got a vauge idea I built something similar as a kid , probly after seeing a ad for it . With similar results .

The elevator seemed to be a rudder , at times .
mustve bin really thick to keep building new planes when they only lasted 5 minutes , back then .

I think Dale lost blood with engines him and his helpers were using.

It's real easy to see that it's terribly nose heavy. Twin Fox 25s (three back-plate bolt) were tried at first, the noses were just too "floppy" and the resulting harmonics resulted in foaming fuel so bad it never got airborne with both Foxes running. Using Bart's K's workshop and Steve H's FP- 25s got the thing flying, but, it turned really sluggishly.

Dave Ek glued two one oz. lead fishing pyramid sinkers near the trailing edge and it now balances much more better, not hardly nose heavy at all. He also stiffened the noses up with layers of epoxy and glass, so I think the engines will run steadily now. It has a fairly large wing area, and even with the 4 0zs. of lead, it weighs around 50 ozs., I think it will fly well enough to raise eyebrows....gotta' try it out one of these days...no rush.

FYI...This thing was built and flown at the VSC by  "proxy" for Sean McEntee, unable to attend the VSC due to his first deployment.

     I used a basswood stab to offset the weight of a Max III- 35 inboard & a Max III-29 outboard.  Flew good on 70' lines, pretty fast.

 Isn't it 'sposed to have two Redhead .35's?
