One of my test objectives was the high power on a twin question. That's the reason I put 2 OS .46Ax's on a .46 size plane. I could have gone with a .61 size plane which would have been less of a problem, but I thought it would be a better test with max power in the plane.

This build was not to be a plane I would fly for the long term, it was purely to test out thrust for future use. That's the reason for the ARF and some "quick & dirty" large box nacelles. Nothing fancy. Get it built quickly and test fly.

I have flown with the right engine out and, if the weather holds, I'll try the left engine out this weekend. I did rolls, but want to do some loops, Immelmanns, Cuban-8s, and most of all, 1-engine flat spins toward the bad engine. I plan to write all the results up in my April column. (I am just sending in the March one.)
