Default RE: Ultra Stick Lite 120 twin

Mike,
Yes, that's a T-18 that was built & flown by a good friend here in my area.
Jim was in a serious accident test flying a light experimental. He lost a leg
below the knee, but he says he will fly the Thorpe again & believe him.
I took that pic on our way to breakfast one day a few years ago.
I like the simplicity of your motor mount boxes. I have been slowly working
on bashing a crashed Dazzler ARF into a twin for a while. It's been slow
because it's a back burner project. My concern the wing structure is a little
weak where I need to put my nacelles, but your box method sort of adresses
that. Great food for thought. Thanks for the pics!
