Look for the RCM Plans for the Twin Super Sportster and use the same style of engine nacelles. And please post photos when you finish it.

Hey Jim, I was curious as to what your inspiration to the design of the Ultra Sport? Did you see a full scale plane that sparked the inspiration? Do you have a favorite size of the Ultra Sport? I wonder what it would take to design a Ultra Sport that can hang in a 30 to 35 cc gas burner? I can imagine that this plane would be in the 110 inch wing span range but that is ok if you was to place a fuel tank near CG and ignition right behind fire wall then have servos mounted to rear fuse I think that plane would have a really nice appearance and flying appeal. What you think? I happen to get to own a OS 1.60 twin cylinder 4 stroke engine and you have no idea how much i so wanted to hang that motor on my last Ultra Sport 1000 rebuild but i was concerned with balance.
