RE: RE:
Cliff, congrats, you'll enjoy the build, even though it is lengthly, but well worth the effort. The final outcome is a delight to enjoy everytime you look at it, especially up in the air. The pictures will surely be enjoyed on this end right from opening the box on.
I've got one project to do to mine this year, I'm going to change the receiver over to a new 2.4ghz system. Having the Futaba 10-C gives me a lot of mixing I didn't have before. Flap/elevator mix and elevator/ brake mix are two I'll use for sure.
Don't forget to post those pics, we'll enjoy them.

RE: RE:
Al, why don't you be nice to an "old fart" like me? I have a picture program that made it super easy as soon as I found the size that was necessary to post. No, I'm smarter than my grandkids....well, I can't say that my one granddaughter is in her third year of college at U K and was a 4.0 ever since she started grade school. She might be smarter than me, but not about airplanes, that makes me smarter than her. [:'(]

RE: RE:
OK Here are some Pics, It does need some TLC but over all in very good condition.
Has 2 Homelite Bandit motors which are 33cc each, fixed gear and the wing is one piece right now
So I will convert it back to 3 piece.

RE: RE:
Looks like a nice find Clavin01! Wish I could've found one already built,[] but here's what mine looked like when I brought it home.
Anyway I made some more progress today and cut alot of the ribs out. Had to take a break from the man cave and spend time with the family. I'll probably finish the ribs tonight then maybe take some pics to post here later. I'm so tempted to start the glueing process, but I really want to get most of the kit cut first. Gonna wait until my engines get here before I order the cowlings so I can decide on which ones to order. Fiberglass Specialties have 2 different lengths and instead of recessing the firewalls I might go with the longer cowls???

RE: RE:
It was a great find, and could not beat the price. Other then some patches and remounting the 2 nd engine
The tough part will be seperating the wing into 3 pieces. Good Luck with your build.

I have other twins as well.
Dual Ace with OS .46 Great Flying Plane.
CMP Mosquito with GMS .32
A-26 Invader ASM Model with ST .51
Just aquired a P-38 Profile will put 20 or 25's on that one.

RE: RE:
also did some research on the N Number.
Turns out that it belongs to a full scale 310 that was here in MD
I would guess that this Plane was build here in the State and the full size
has been sold to a outfit in Canada. No Pics of the full size that I could find.

RE:
A few posts back, enough parts were cut for an extra kit sooooo my weird mind started working, and came up with a unique idea. How about a double fuse, 3 engine, 310. Call it the 620 wings outside the fuse sides would be the same. The wing between the fuses would only have a single nacel. A full elevator between fuses like a P38. Now that would be one for the picture album

RE:
Guys, nice 310's, as I have one myself, but my question is why is the top section of the cabin where the windshield comes up to meet it so out of whack? I have seen some models that look like the front of a school bus windshield. The plans couldn't be that bad are they? I know the early models were a little blunt up there, but are the plans in that area just left to interruption? Thanks

RE: RE:
SJ3CUB ,the plans for mine were pretty basic in that area, the top of the cabin can look like it's just stuck onto some of the side pieces if a little extra time isn't spent. I spent a lot of extra time with the windshield area and side windows and it's probably not close to scale, but definitely better than the original stock build. Remember, this was a similarity to and not a scale kit of a 310. Not that the original wasn't a good design,it is, but many of the 310's built since have mass improvements to the basic design. When I built mine 30 years ago I wasn't thinking scale, just trying to class it up a bit.

Hello All
Glad to be a official Member.
I was Surfing the Net and came across this. Has anyone bought one and how did it Fly?
It certainly looks like a 310
