Mark is right on here, two .25 two strokers would be plenty for 700 inches assuming the model comes out at a reasonable weight. Two .40's is going to be WAY overkill and is completely unecessary. It will mainly just force you to carry more fuel, add more weight, and add to your wing loading. y1

I am using what are generally considered "mild" .40s in the overall scheme.  I also saw Windy's B-25 with two Hi Po RoJetts That were supposedly special made .36s made from the RoJett .40.

The engine weight of the DS .40 is ridiculously light.  Will need about 1 to 1-1/2 oz. more fuel per engine.  The trade off seems the best deal to me.

At least for the Del Gatto B-25 (which is WAY smaller) I am going with two Veco .19BB not the .25LA or FPs.

I have seen the difference in going from a .40 pipe engine which flew the plane extremely well, to a .51 and then a .61.  The extra power on tap was amazing.

Here's another: Mitsubishi Ki-46 "Dinah"

HI Denny,

In Stunt News a few years ago, two gentlemen from Japan had twin engine semi scale planes.  A Betty and a Dinah, IIRC.

Hogwash.  Somebody wants to build a stunter like this and convince us it's scale.   It is obviously a fake, probably perpetrated by Dennis Adamisin.  The aft fuselage was a sloppy job: the color and lighting don't come close to matching.  The phony blob on the back to accommodate the elevator control horns is a dead giveaway.

The Betty would also be a promising choice.  Some of the French light bombers are very good looking birds too.  Surpised no one has mentioned the Messerschmidt Bf-110, 210 or 410.

I expect I'll be drawing plans for a full fuselage F7F Tigercat.

This won't happen soon, but it will happen.

Anyone interested in a cut kit, let me know.

I mentioned the posibility of providing laser cut parts for a F7F Tigercat before.

At the moment, I'm considering 52" to 57" and .25's to .40's.

Engine choice is yours.

It's a great looking aircraft to model and I believe that "correct scale outlines" can be maintained and used in the design.

Interested?

Prettiest looking twin I've seen is the DeHavilland Hornet.  Al Rabe is right.  Plus it has very good scale proportions for converting to stunt without making it look cartoonish.  Now you can put in light weight electric retracts for only about 4 oz. of weight.

The high aspect ratio P-38 would look sharp too.  I've seen several done with an engine in the center pod, which should work well, and avoid the twin engine troubles.

I still say the F7F is a great airplane to model.

Barely has a fuselage.

I wouldn't do it on my own, I would need others interested.

The F7F is a good looking plane too.  Having tried, it is hard to get a good balance between those two huge radials, the diehedral, and the fact that retracts would be prohibitively heavy.  No WW-II ship should be flying stunt with th e wheels down.

I did happen to overhear Windy at Brodak's one year.  Commented on what a handful his F7F could be at times.  Apparently it was not an easy plane to fly.  That is with 2 36 engines in it.  Hard to see how one could get enough power out of two 25's.

Keep the size down and build light.

Could be a nice challange.

I'm almost surprised no one has mentioned the P-82 Twin Mustang or is this concept only for single fuselage twin engine types? D>K

Ty,

BANG! You've done it!

The perfect Warbird twin.

There's already Mustang kits to be had and all one has to do is duplicate the fuselage parts, which BTW are already there, add the center wing, sneek in the stab/elevator and you have it!

Probably the easiest way to the twin Warbird goal.

Thisisa 67 in odd one , not semi scale ; SCALE : Just a few differant scales .  :##

Gotta 78 in one near done , for two 21 /35s , or 21/46s or 21/40s or a 21/40 & 21/46 , or two OS 35 'S ' es .
Then Ive gotta decide If I paint it , Blue, Black, Red , Green , silver , pale green , or , um . . .  n~ ;D

Stuka would be fine.  The Zero predecessor had fixed gear and was only slightly inferior to the Zero.

Who but Bob Hoover did aerobatics in a P-51 with the gear down.  Even Tony LeVier, who demonstrated the P-38 to the troops, didn't do gear down stuff, just single engine aerobatics.

I think the P-61-E & RF-61C/F-15A variants with the two place bubble kinda like the B-47 would be awesome. Mucho wing area and a lot less fuselage side area. This version kinda turned an un-gainly looking airplane into a beauty in my opinion.
I think it could make a good stunter for E-power. Anyone else think so ?  :)

       While at the NATS I flew Windy's B-25 a couple times. There was no input feeling at the handle so it took a bit of getting used to. It is a very good flying model and I was able to complete a couple very good vertical square eights. I'm sure Windy almost passed out.

I "think" I mentioned this before, (there have been over 80 replies) but from a strictly "Nostalgic" viewpoint I would pick either Paul Del Gatto's B-25 or Jack Sheeks F5F-1.

Dan, if you can get a look at a 3-view of the F-15A, study the 'plan' (top) view a bit. The proportions and areas look about as good for CL as many Grumman aircraft were.

The recon F-15A also does not have that ugly cluster of warts and bulges above the wing - instead, it has a very neat, sleek, lo-o-ong one piece canopy. The P-61 (and F-15A) don't require exaggerated mods to the side view, what there is of it.

And, yeah, it would look much better with the wheels tucked away, but...

Some nice pictures of Steve Moon's nice Hughes XF-11 at

http://stunthanger.com/smf/index.php?topic=25457.msg247475#msg247475

The XF-11 is a great looking airplane but is difficult to do for semiscale stunt with its high aspect ratio wing.  Steve did a nice job with his.  He even made this a good looking profile which is not easy to do.

I watched Winfred go through the "teething" process with his twins....I believe that the best flying one was his first....the B-25.
The A/B 26 was his second....and I thought that it didn't fly as well....met its demise when he hit a bird....he repaired it, but the repair later failed resulting in a complete loss.
The Tiger Cat was brilliant...but did not perform as well as the B-25.....I wonder if the large vertical stabilizers didn't result in way too much side area, causing yaw? The twin platform might have accentuated the issue?

All three were essentially the same plan form...

I know that the Moonies have plans for a smalle B-25 based on Phil Cartier's "Gotcha" wing....

The B-25 and Tiger Cat are hanging on display in Windy's attic, along with the remaining semi-scale efforts (Spitfires) and one of Al Rabe's Mustangs....

If your thinking about an F-81, how about twinning one of Al Rabe's Mustangs?  Proven platform X2!  Oh yeah baby! H^^

Yup, I meant F-82....sorry about the confusion.  But really....if you shrunk Al's P-51 about 15%, it would make an interesting F-82 with a couple of .35's.  Would have to do a few cosmetic changes and redo the landing gear, but hey, the cool factor would certainly outweigh that! H^^

If your going to lug around a whole nother fuselage, you may need a nother wing to carry the extra weight !  :##

I'd still fo with Al Rabe and vote for the DeHavilland Hornet.  It looks like an aerobatic airplane.  The Tigercat looks good, but those huge radials overpower the rest of the plane.  Plus the Hornet could have a fairly simple retract installation and doesn't have the complications of twin booms.

The ME-410 is pretty too.  Doesn't have all the bulges and bumps the Germans tended to use.  The wing is a bit small though.

probably mentioned already, but the DeHaviland Mossy is about as pretty as you can get for a twin. H^^
