Default RE: Twin Somethin' Extra

I built, actually, my flying buddy, Flaps Laffert who is 83 built it, a twin fuselage World Models Sky Raider Mach II. Excellent flying plane. I just had about 4 degrees in it-I ran out of thrust plates-but it holds pretty well on 1 engine. Bill "Straight Ahead" Robison, who is in my club, and whom I'm picking on, has seen me take it off on 1 engine. Even though the Twin Stick flies great, I do think the twin fuselage configuration is safer with an engine out than twin nacelles.

If you are interested in a twin fuselage plane, I can send you some more photos on how we did ours.
