Default Twin Star...:)

Hay Twinman...

I am in the process of building a three engine kit bash out of a Slow Poke .40. I've seen both the . 25 and .40 size fly, and all fly slow and well.

This will be my Sixth twin and first Three engine model. I've built up the fuselage, and have built up the "V" tail...yes it's a "V" tail. I've built and covered the "V" tail, and base ball sewed the ruddervaters on. All I need to do is install the "V" tail and figure out the aft top cover from the center fuselage turtle neck to the "V" tail. That will just about finish the fuselage.

I've built up the wing center section, and I have the outer wing panels and nacelles to build. One K & B .18 in the nose, and two K & B .19's in the wing. I was planning on three .18's, but I could not sell my .19's to buy two more .18's so....the C. Lee K & B .19's will finally fly.

I have bought the Hobby Lobby Fowler Flap Hinges, and will have 1/2 span fowler flaps. I was going to use Full Span Fowler Flaps, and use Spoilers in the wing, but not sure how that set up will work. I will also use a third servo off the ailerons to drive the tail wheel, and I've installed a spring type tail wheel unit ( I just could not see how to drive the tail wheel off of dual ruddervater servo's and Tx mixed...?).

Thanks for the input...and this will be my sixth twin, and first Tri engine model. This is my first multi engine "V" tail too.

Soft landings always,

Bobby of Maui
