Ed:
Glad it went well, and that you're pleased with the plane.
Mine isn't getting bashed as much as I had originally planned; it will still be a high wing but I'm putting anhedral in it. Should help eliminate some of the coupling in KE flight.
And as I said before, a pair of
LIGHT K&B 8330 engines. High torque, fairly low rpm. The two K&Bs together don't weight much more than one of your GMS 47 engines.
And, no out thrust. I've figured out why I don't like it:
...so I was surprised on final approach when I noticed one engine out. I don't know when it failed so the out thrust is working.
If we let it be known that flying a twin can be so easy the comment "You fly twins? Gee!" will become "So you fly twins. So what?" See what I mean? Takes the mystique out of it.
Haw.
Again, glad it worked out. Hope I wont have the balance problem, and end up a lot lighter.
Bill.
