Default RE: New C-130 Project

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the advise. I have not flown multi engine planes yet. This project is going to be down the road, but I wanted to get some ideas now. I will probably start with a simple twin to get used to first. My idea was to drop dry retardant such as jello mix just for affect. My first idea was the C-130 or C-119, or C-123. These are all planes used by CDF in California. They are also all high wing planes, so it will be easy to have the bay doors under the wing and I will still be able to take the wing off.

A question I have about the C series is is there enough room between the spontoons for a bay door for the tan? I am willing to go bigger if that is what it will take.

Also, I am also looking a the S-2T twin engine tanker used by CDF, but I can't find plans. Does anyone know who makes plans upon request?

Thanks
Steve
