Has anybody converted the Avonds F15 to twin motors not turbine? Any pics or input on this. Thanks Rick

Hi Rick,

The original Avonds F-15 was a twin engine design (.45 size engines) and was later offered as a single .91 size plane. I believe the single engine version is a lot easier to build and maintain and flies great. The JHH version (Original Avonds Design) still is made for a twin DF set up. Larry Wolfe can probably answer any questions you might have.

Thanks - Adil

The size of this plane makes it almost impossible to make it a twin (DF 0r Turbine). All the weight gain would not be off-set by the extra engine.

I have some video of this plane flying with two GWM turbines (the 8-lb. ones. It was owned by Donny Beauvais, I believe. Anyway, it was the most scale F-15 flight I've ever seen. The landing was very slow and the nose stayed high until the plane practically came to a stop.

I also have the same video. I believe it was at Muncie, IN at the AMA homecoming. I believe Donny is/was the owner and Tom Dodgen was the pilot. Everytime I make a picture perfect landing, I watch the video and then head back to the field to practice landing again!

I also have some videos of the same plane flying with twin .91's and the performance was spectacular!

Would I power mine with twin DF - NO

Would I power mine with twin turbines - NO (only because I'd rather have TWO planes with turbines!)
