Semi-scale stunt?

Probably not a good subject for rubber scale.

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.

Put the motor in the back add a wing and you have my Biplane Stunt Pusher.  n~

  There was one of these in a scene in one of the Mad Max movies, the second or third one I think. Fit in quite wellin that use, I think.

Matt, this has the potential to be an entertaining thread.



In the event of an emergency, each manned pod could be equipped with a parachute so it could part company with the mothership.

Here's another curious contraption:

The Airtruck was great for aerial spraying.  All those wing tips and their vorticies forced the spray down on the crops.

Like one of my favorite planes, the A10 Warthog, excellent function can be beautiful all on its own.

This Farman F.4X "Jabiru" is a candidate for the world's ugliest aircraft.

Another view of the profile version.  Those are Cox .020 Pee Wee engines.

Boy, that really puts the "eeeeee!" in experimental.  Do you have a name or history for it?  So, who want's to be a test pilot?

    Problem is, technically it's not a biplane.  It is a sesquiplane, I believe is the correct term. I'm sure I don't have it spelled correctly. So is the Neuport 17.
    This airplane flies also.

Searched the net and found it is called the RP-4, lots of images on google but nothing newer than 2007
