Default Fat Albert

I have built from Skip Masts C-130 plans and the plane flys great. I used four os 40 fps running 11 X 4 apc props, my plane weighed 23 lbs when it was done. I covered the wing with monoquote and fuse with fiberglass and paint. I found out by accident my plane can fly on three engines even on takeoff at a 30 degree climbout. Unfortunetaley I had a radio failure after about 20 flights and that was the end of that one. I have been busy working on a new and improved design based off of skips plans it should be ready for the 2003 flying season, it seems to weigh in at about 20 lbs so far with a wing area of 1200 sq/in. As for anyone wanting links I just used the following keywords in a search engine "blues angels fat albert" Its great to see others fliers who are interested in multi-engined planes.
