I don't know about weird except for maybe the covering job I did on it. The 'Real Thing' built from plans and everyone says it looks like it escaped from the circus!!

Now I did NOT build this-but it WAS at a contest I CD'ed!
Dear Fellow RCU'ers:
The PIPE Here again...and for a few years before I had to leave RC in 1986 (got back to it in May 2001), I was a Contest Director, and held a couple of four-stroke fly-ins up here in Souteastern MA, in the mid-1980s.
And just about the WIERDEST four stroke powered plane that appeared at one of my meets was...
...this HAMMERHEAD TWIN Sr. Telemaster build by one Vernon Duckworth!
Here's a closeup of the twin OS FS-60s (the ORIGINAL glow plug four stroke engine from the mid-1970s) on this "hammerhead twin"...
The plane flew with these two somewhat anemic powerplants (well, it WAS the 'first one on the block'...what could one expect???
) and the VERY wierd SOUNDS those two overlapping wood 14 x 6 props made in flight had to be heard live to be believed.
Perhaps I might try a version of this one myself someday-I DO have a set of construction plans for the Sr. Telly-and a pair of small four strokes (a pair of Saito 50s might do the trick) could sort of "re-create" this plane for my own fun!
But then there's that LONG brewing idea of mine, for a full-blown RC FLYING TENPIN...
...sort of a Long-Eze with a full-blown American Bowling Congress regulation tenpin set of fuselage dimensions...with electric pusher power and (if built BIG enough-at 3 times an actual tenpin's height for the fuselage length, at 45 inches) it COULD be fitted with retracts to suck up a nosegear set of retracts to REALLY show off the tenpin look in flight! Just read my "Profile" here-you'll see that TENPINS IS my favorite activity, with RC a close second!
But at least this Hammerhead Twin Telemaster IS a real flying WIERDO...unless it might have crashed
since the mid-1980s...hope not!
Yours Sincerely,
The PIPE!

Hey Don 
you gotta give me more details on that, i can tell it started life as a surfboard, but how can it hang when the surfaces are so far away from the prop wash?
got any pics of your flying dildo? they ould go on the weird page... theres been some talk of those kinda things again, think the last idea was two GWS fans in a tube turning opposite ways to counter torque....
heres the perfect partner to the flying dildo btw....

Oh my, that plane would not go over well here in the Bible belt. It may need a BIG pair of boxers to go over it.
Bet it makes every guy cringe when it nosedives into the ground.
Would make a new type of funfly event in California, Erotic free-style flying. See who can land it in the hole.
Oh the children, what about the children?

RE: Weird Planes
Does anyone know where I can get one of these? I was looking through the November 1999 Model Aviation magazine and saw the Crossbow by Leading Edge Model Aircraft. This has my name written all over it! If it is not in production anymore, does anyone want to sell theirs or have the plans to build one? Anything is more than I have.
Thanks,
Red
