Status: online 		I want to build a practice twin before completing my P-38. I haven't seen any except the TWIN STAR and that's ARF. I want to be able to make various wings with the engines spaced at different widths to get used to the idiosyncracies of a twin again.(have had two but that was a while ago) I was looking at a Kaos or a Super Sportster as possible candidates for the 'surgery'. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I have an excellent project plane theat would serve you well.

G/P Ulta Sport 1000, which is the big one, similar to a large Kaos. Already converted to a twin. Never finished. I saw one of these fly and it flew well. 2] 60's or more... Needs finish sanding and covering.

$125.00 plus shipping.

Status: online 		Thanks for the advice. I am looking into something I could stick two 40s on, since that's what I have at the moment. The Kadet Senior sounds interesting but I wonder how that worked with the flat wing?

I wonder which would be better, a thin or thick wing cord? High or low wing?

Status: offline 		I've often thought about converting a Top-Flite Contender to a twin. If you ask me, a thicker wing is better, more room for fuel tanks and throttle servos. It would fly great with two .40's.
